Meadowlark work to close through-traffic in April; village outlines signs, resident access and timing
Summary
Albuquerque Asphalt will begin Meadowlark road work the week of April 21, closing the road to through traffic for several weeks with staged closures for upper and lower segments; village staff said residents will retain driveway access and the project team will post signage and coordinate communications.
The village heard a schedule update on a planned road project that will close Meadowlark to through traffic and require staged work on Upper and Lower Meadowlark.
Steve Leskew (speaker 17), introduced by the village administrator, told the council Albuquerque Asphalt had an opening in its schedule and would begin surveying the week of April 14 and start cutting asphalt the week of April 21. Leskew said Upper Meadowlark would take approximately four to five weeks and Lower Meadowlark would follow, taking three to four weeks once crews complete the upper section; there could be one to two weeks where both sections are closed depending on crews and weather.
Village staff said residents would always have access to their driveways (contractors will pour half the approach and then the other half), that Albuquerque Asphalt will post signboards at all entries, and that the village will announce start dates and traffic‑control plans on its website and other channels. The village also plans to increase outreach to residents in affected areas, and staff agreed to investigate school‑bus and ambulance routing impacts and to coordinate with emergency providers.
Councilors asked about opportunities to collect traffic counts during the closure and whether signage will be posted at Corrales Road and other village entry points; staff said signs would be placed at entry points dictated by the traffic plan. Leskew defined sealcoating for Loma Largo (scheduled April 28 for about three days) as an oil‑based surface treatment to seal cracks — not an additional asphalt layer — and said crews had delayed earlier work because temperatures were too cold for sealcoat to bond.
What happens next: The village will post the traffic plan and start date once it is finalized, continue resident outreach and coordinate with Albuquerque Asphalt on signage and emergency‑services routing.
