The Elmhurst mayor told the City Council on Jan. 6 that the city has identified a stormwater improvement project in the Spring Road business district (5th Ward), acquiring two properties on Eggleston for underground stormwater storage and a parking expansion that will add about 250 parking spaces.
Why it matters: The project is intended to increase stormwater storage capacity in a commercial area and to provide additional parking; engineering and design work is slated to begin in 2025 with construction planned for 2027.
Public engagement: The city will hold an open house for neighbors from 4 to 6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 27, at Phase 3 Brewing Company (back room). The mayor said city planning and engineering staff and at least two aldermen will be present to review preliminary project information and gather neighbor comments.
What the city said about next steps: The mayor said the city will begin engineering and design in 2025 and expects construction in 2027. Property acquisitions were described as intended to create underground storage behind the existing business (referenced in the record as Doc Ryan’s).
