Underpass rave5/7/2023 ![]() There will be construction and parking impacts on Hillgrove Avenue, in the commuter parking spaces west of Central Avenue. After coordination with the BNSF, the project is now underway. The Village opened bids for the project through the Illinois Department of Transportation in the summer of 2020. Results from the survey indicated the location near Prospect Avenue would be the preferred location. In 2010 the Village conducted a community survey to gauge the community’s preferred location for the Wet Underpass. Recent developments in coordination with the Western Springs Park District and the Illinois Tollway will see the construction of a new pedestrian bridge connecting Spring Rock Park and Veeck Park. The Village completed the East Underpass project located near Clausen Avenue during that same time and quickly moved its attention to build a new pedestrian crossing crossing system on the west side of town that would replace the at-grade Central Avenue crossing while providing improved pedestrian safety for Metra commuters and residents who utilize Spring Rock Park, the Village Club Pool, Theatre of Western Springs and the Western Springs Recreation Center. The completion of the West Underpass is long term capital improvement project that the Village of Western Springs has been coordinating with various state and federal agencies since approximately 2005. ![]() Public Hearing for Underpass No.2 and Closure of At Grade Pedestrian Crossing from Village of Western Springs on Vimeo. ![]()
