About this Article

While motorists remain concerned with winter travel, Libertyville officials are gearing up for an unparallelled season of road work. The village expects to spend about $4.7 million on "shave and pave" projects and reconstruction this year -- nearly five times the normal annual schedule. Voters last March approved a tax hike to pay for the $20 million multi-year program.
