Can’t we make our local roads stronger?

Posted January 30, 2014 4:00 am

The past weeks of very cold weather has caused our local village roads to buckle every 10-15 feet.

If you drive on Burr Oak west to Kennicott or north on Kennicott from Hintz to Dundee you can experience what I am trying to describe. My car is older and I am afraid of cracking a strut or damaging a tie-rod.

Is there another paving technique that can be used to eliminate this problem? Arlington Heights Road does not have this problem.

We need to look at other suppliers/pavers to ensure we do not have situation in the future. The pavers and materials we currently use are not working.
