West Side Parking Lot – Construction Update

This email went out today from the Libertyville Public Works Department. If you would like to recieve construction update emails (or other updates from the village, visit  www.libertyville.com)

Village of Libertyville - West Side Parking Lot – Construction Update

We would like to thank everyone for their continued patience, cooperation and support during this last phase of the parking lot improvements. We appreciate your input and have tried to address all needs that have been brought to our attention. AT&T has finally completed their service transfers and removed the five utility poles and remaining wires. What a difference; it looks fantastic!!! There is some additional work needed to complete the project. This work will be done in the spring/early summer and is weather dependent. We will provide notices when we recommence construction so you are aware of how it may impact you. With the new lot configuration, we are asking business owners to advise their customers and employees to exercise caution when driving and walking in the parking lot. Safety is important to all of us. Thank you again for your understanding as we worked through the challenges of construction; we are almost done and hope you are pleased with the (semi) finished product.

Sincerely,

Village of Libertyville Public Works Department

Paint the Town!

Cook House Paint Restoration and You -



Of the many things that make living, working and/or playing in Libertyville so wonderful - it is the residents who are involved in our community, that are truly the most remarkable and inspiring characteristic.

We see examples of kindness and philanthropy throughout the Village..... one of the latest examples comes in the form of Libertyville Residents Roch Tranel and Mike Foley. Within the past few months, the two have started an undertaking of raising money to repaint and make structural repairs to the centerpiece of Downtown Libertyville - the Cook Mansion. According to newspaper reports - the total undertaking is roughly a $50,000 project.... with a donation of paint by Benjamin Moore, along with other donations - the project needs to raise about $22,000 to cover the remaining costs.

The Cook Mansion has been such an important landmark in Downtown Libertyville for over 125 years - this undertaking is vital for the home's future.

I ask that you join me in contributing to such a worthwile cause. I have sent in a check for $100 - if you can, please match my donation. If possible, contribute more - with an effort such as this, every dollar makes a difference.
