gutter, and sidewalk replacement on a block by block basis, so that the
Village understands what will be incorporated into their contract
plans; 2) Obtain a written price quote from IDOT on the design of
Illinois Street (on-street) replacement parking. The cost of a
topographical (street crass-section) survey should be quoted separately;
and 3) Seek a written response from IDOT Local Roads, and your CATS
Council of Mayors, as to the eligibility of certain items (streetlights,
curb and gutter replacement, sidewalk replacement) for inclusion in
your FAUS grant for this project.
