Roselle approves multiple pedestrian, bike and quiet‑zone design contracts; Cook County grant to fund part of Roselle Road work
Summary
The village board authorized engineering agreements for Irving Park Road pedestrian and bike preliminary design ($231,011), Roselle Road pedestrian design and land acquisition ($479,518.40) and downtown quiet‑zone design ($99,015). A DES official said a $190,000 Cook County grant will fund part of the Roselle Road design.
The Village of Roselle board voted Nov. 10 to approve a set of engineering agreements to advance pedestrian and quiet‑zone projects.
Trustee Forsyth moved to adopt a resolution authorizing a local public-agency engineering services agreement with Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. for preliminary design of Irving Park Road corridor pedestrian and bike improvements in the amount of $231,011; the motion passed on roll call.
Forsyth also moved to approve a joint funding agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the Irving Park Road preliminary design; that resolution also carried.
On Roselle Road, trustees approved an agreement with Civil Tech Engineering Inc. for design engineering and land-acquisition services in the amount of $479,518.40. A DES director told the board the village has a $190,000 grant from Cook County to fund design work for the Roselle Road project.
The board approved a separate agreement with Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. for design engineering of a downtown 24‑hour quiet zone, in the amount of $99,015.
All three contract motions were seconded and carried on roll calls with no recorded dissents. Trustees and staff said advancing design work positions the village to pursue construction funding and state or county grants.
The contracts authorize staff to proceed with preliminary engineering and land‑acquisition scope work; construction funding, where needed, remains to be secured.
Next steps: the board expects detailed project reports and grant applications to return to the board for further action.
