ERA’s Parkside-Summerdale Infrastructure Project Named Project of the Year
GLEN ELLYN, Ill. - Engineering Resource Associates, Inc. (ERA) is proud to announce that the Village of Glen Ellyn’s Parkside/Summerdale Roadway and Infrastructure Improvement Project was named the 2010 Project of the Year. With this award, the American Public Works Association – Chicago Metro Chapter, Suburban Branch recognizes excellence in completing public works projects and creating alliances between the municipality, consultant and contractor.
In 2007, the Village of Glen Ellyn’s Public Works Department retained ERA to provide design engineering services. The Parkside-Summerdale Roadway and Infrastructure Improvement Project included the reconstruction of over 4,000 feet of roadway, the rehabilitation of over 2,500 feet of hot-mix asphalt pavement, over 7,500 feet of sanitary sewer lining and point repairs, over 5,000 feet of new water mains, and over 3,500 feet of storm sewers. In order to remedy hazardous driving conditions, Glen Ellyn’s first turning circle was incorporated for traffic calming purposes. Flooding problems were addressed by a unique combination of installation of curb and gutter, storm sewer implementation, raising the profile of sidewalks, and changing the road profiles and cross-sections. The project was successfully constructed during the summer of 2008 for $3.9 million.
