Title
Humphrey Neighborhood (1st, 2nd, 3rd Avenue) Road Condition
History
The 2024 Road Improvement Program included the maintenance and reconstruction of various roadways/streets throughout the Village. The streets scheduled for resurfacing and reconstruction included 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Avenues in the Humphrey neighborhood. Upon reviewing the then-current condition of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Avenues, staff determined that these streets did not meet the road degradation qualifications to warrant reconstruction. Ultimately, 1st ,2nd, and 3rd Avenues were removed from the 2024 Road Program.

Reclamite will absorb into an asphalt pavement, restoring reactive components that have been lost due to oxidation. In essence, it extends the service life of a roadway by an additional five to seven (5-7) years without the costs associated with reconstruction or an overlay. Residents reached out to Public Works, with concerns ranging from odors, to excess sand on the roadway and overall visual appearance of the roadway.
On August 4, 2025, Public Works provided an overview of the work at the Committee of the Whole and provided three options with costs for consideration. The Trustees provided direction for Public Works to address the limestone sand that remained on the street first before making a decision.
Relative to the Limestone Sand, attached is a copy of the Bill of Lading (BOL) from the company who applied the Reclamite and the Limestone Sand. Additioanlly, attached is the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Limestone Sand.
On August 6 and 8, 2025, the Streets Division washed down the streets to remove any residual sand. Current p...
