Dolton trustee: street repaving to begin this week; alleys deferred to next-year grant
Trustee Steve said Dolton will begin repaving some streets between tomorrow and Wednesday and that alleys will not be repaved this year, while the village has applied for a larger grant next year to cover additional streets and alleys.

The announcement matters because scheduled repaving affects local travel and parking and because the grant application could change the scope of work in 2026. Trustee Steve said the village is “getting things done” on streets and is pursuing outside funding to address alleys next year.

Trustee Steve encouraged residents to sign up for village communications, saying, “keep, your ear to the street or if you sign up for an email blast or text message blast, that's the best way to communicate with the village.” He added that he will schedule a public works committee meeting soon to provide more details.

On the timeline, Trustee Steve said crews would begin work “between tomorrow and and Wednesday,” and that the village had already submitted an application for “a big grant next year, to do some streets and some alleys.” He said alleys are not included in this year’s work but that the grant would, if successful, allow the village to address alleys in the following year.

No formal vote or budget action was recorded in the transcript for this item. Trustee Steve did not provide specific start dates, street lists, contractor names, or grant program names during the remarks; those details were described as to be announced. The village’s communications channel (email/text blast) was presented as the way the public would receive updates.

The village will announce the public works committee meeting date and further street-repaving details in a future notice.
