Residents ask village to manage dust, potholes during water project in Catalina/Warren Park area
Summary
A Catalina neighborhood resident urged the village to require better dust suppression and pothole repair from the contractor working on a local water project, saying dust has made outdoor activity difficult and residents seek more frequent watering or truck routes.
A resident of the Catalina neighborhood asked the Village Board on May 20 to improve site management for an ongoing water project, citing heavy dust, potholes and contractor coordination problems.
“There's a big dust storm. Can somebody look at putting a water truck twice a week?” resident Dominic said, asking the village to press the contractor for more frequent dust control and road repairs. He said the east side of Sycamore Drive, adjacent to Kettleen Drive, now has potholes where crews have installed piping and that dust has made it difficult for children to play outside.
Why it matters: Residents said the dust and potholes are affecting quality of life and safety during construction and requested the village reassess contractor oversight to reduce dust and fix temporary pavement damage.
Board response: Mayor Dodge said he would take the concern to Acting Village Manager Jim Culotta and that staff would follow up by contacting the resident. No formal motion, fine, or change to the contractor was recorded at the meeting.
Discussion vs. decision: The exchange was recorded as public comment with staff follow up planned; there was no motion, vote, or formal direction to change contract terms during the May 20 meeting.
Ending: The board asked the resident to provide contact information so staff could follow up; no timeline for remedial action was recorded in the meeting record.
