Tinley Park advances Robinson Engineering agreement for 167th Street traffic calming
Summary
The committee referred to the Village Board a professional services agreement with Robinson Engineering to design and provide construction engineering for traffic calming on 167th Street; staff said conceptual drawings were shared with residents and design work could take several months with bidding targeted for late summer.
The Committee of the Whole referred a professional services agreement with Robinson Engineering to the Village Board to design traffic calming measures on 167th Street.
Staff summarized the project background and early design work: a conceptual drawing has been shared with nearby residents, and the design team adjusted the plan eastward to avoid encroaching on a nearby floodplain. Staff said the design phase would begin on approval and likely take a few months, with the intention of putting the project out to bid in late summer.
Committee members asked for timing details and residents' input; staff confirmed a project timeline that begins with design documents, followed by bidding and construction engineering. The motion to refer the agreement to the Village Board was approved by the committee.
Why it matters: 167th Street has been identified for safety improvements, and the engineering agreement launches design and construction oversight work that will determine the project's schedule and scope.
Next steps: The Village Board will consider the professional services agreement; if approved, Robinson Engineering will proceed with design and the village will prepare an advertisement for construction bids in the summer.
