This approach does not compromise the design of the pave- ment, and it also maintains the aesthetics of the road. A five-year schedule for road construction is published every year, so residents know when they will be paying their assessment and have five years to plan for it. With about 1,500 to 2,000 linear feet of feet reconstructed each year, the village reached 100% of roads in 2018 with the exception of a small, block long section that ties the road to a riverfront development that will be complete in 2019, says Block. When the commitment to concrete was made, all village roads were asphalt but there were two concrete county roads that ran through the village limits as well as northwestern portions of the village, so less than 10% of roads were concrete, she adds. Feedback about the use of concrete pavements for all streets in the village has been positive, but Block checked with Rick Hermus, a previous Village Administrator, to see if any residents had complained about the assessment costs related to concrete street pavements. His response: “No one has ever asked us to go back to paving streets with asphalt.”
