Trustees ask staff to revisit Main Street paver design; $300,000 band questioned
Summary
Trustee Lesniak and others asked staff to revisit plans for a paver brick band in the Main Street rehabilitation project, citing maintenance concerns and an estimated $300,000 cost for the paver component; staff will bring the element back to the next Committee of the Whole.
Trustees asked village staff to revisit the proposed paver brick band included in the Main Street rehabilitation project, expressing concern about the maintenance, durability and the additional cost associated with that single‑row paver element.
Trustee Lesniak said she opposed spending an estimated $300,000 on a strip of paver bricks and questioned the return on investment and long‑term maintenance problems where a single row of bricks could be subject to freeze‑thaw and displacement. Director Elias explained the design team will proceed from a concept that includes the paver band but that the project is still in design and the board can provide input ‘‘the sooner the better.’’ Village Manager Cook agreed and staff said they would return the design element for discussion at the next Committee of the Whole so trustees can provide direction before final contract documents are prepared.
No formal change to the project budget or contract was made at the meeting; staff stated the project kickoff with the consultant is scheduled later in the month and indicated the design and contract documents are not finalized yet.
