Intersection Redesign
2024 Recap
​
Last year, work began on an arterial resurfacing project that spanned Rogers Avenue from Touhy to Greenview which includes resurfacing the street, curb and gutter work, ADA ramps, crosswalks and street markings, and the redesign of the Rogers/Ashland/Birchwood intersection.
On May 21st, 2024, Alderwoman Hadden hosted a community meeting on-site to discuss final improvements to the Rogers/Ashland/Birchwood intersection. From the feedback our office received, the intersection will include closing the section of Birchwood between Rogers and Ashland, new sidewalks, pavers, trees, and a refurbished World War I memorial to Joyce Kilmer.

Starting the first week of April in 2025, construction began. During construction, a detour will be set in place for north-bound Ashland, north-bound Rogers, and west-bound Birchwood. This detour will be in effect for the full depth pavement replacement, catch basin work, and ADA work.
2025 Construction

After the road has been replaced, temporary "No Parking" signs will be periodically installed as required for paving the final layer of asphalt and striping activities. These temporary signs will restrict parking during working hours, while adhering to rush hour restrictions, for the completion of the work. Below is a diagram showing the parking restrictions that will be in place; purple indicates where the road will be closed at, yellow indicates where parking restrictions already exist, and red indicates where parking will be restricted during construction.
All work on this project is tentatively scheduled to be completed May 30th, 2025 pending no delays.
