Crews worked to tear down the building at 222 E. Main Street on Nov. 14.
A vacant building needing major renovations was torn down Nov. 14 after approval by the Barrington Board of Trustees. Indeck Development requested a Special Use for Planned Development to tear down the structure, which was granted by the village this month. According to an agenda report, the building is in need of major repairs. There have also been disturbances requiring police assistance and property maintenance violations. Indeck Development is not planning to redevelop the site right away, the agenda report said. The company would like to landscape the area with grass and bushes, with hope that it will increase interest from future developers and retailers.

The unincorporated Barrington roadway will be re-paved between Illinois and Cornell.
Say goodbye to potholes and other imperfections along Summit Street in Barrington. Construction to re-pave the roadway will begin in the coming days. Prep work is already underway. “We have a plan where the roads in the unincorporated area have been designated over a period of time to be re-paved. The plan was put together over 20 years ago so that there would be some sort of continued maintenance on the roads,” Barrington Township Supervisor Gene Dawson said. “Fortunately, Summit came up on the plan to be paved this year.” The road, which is part of unincorporated Barrington, is notoriously one of the bumpiest streets in town. As the only pass-through street between downtown Barrington and the main Post Office on South Grove Avenue, the …

On the books for decades, could the Route 53 extension be any closer to reality? How do you propose it is paid for?
Talk about the Route 53 extension has extended into decades. The plan, which will extend Route 53 from Lake Cook Road to Highway 120 in Lake County, has the support of local governments, transportation agencies and the general public. However, opponents continue to question how it will be funded. The Blue Ribbon Advisory Council recently presented a report to the Illinois Tollway Authority Board, and in May the council, which is co-chaired by Lake County Board Chairman David Stolman of Buffalo Grove and civic leader George Ranney, president and CEO of Metropolis Strategies, approved a final report recommending the Illinois Tollway move forward with the corridor. The Council stated that a four-lane, limited access, tolled parkway should be…

Several roads will get new curbs, storm sewers and asphalt this summer.
Several road improvement projects are on the agenda for the village of Barrington this summer. Crews are already working on several improvement projects along Russell Street between Prairie Avenue and Summit Street. Right now, they are working on storm sewer replacement and curb removal and replacement. Once those projects are completed, the road will be repaved. “The pavement has a bit of a low spot if you approach it from both sides, so water will sit in the road if it’s not drained,” said Greg Summers, Director of Engineering and Building. The asphalt reconstruction along Russell should remedy the problem, as well as fixing the existing potholes and other road imperfections. Crews are also working on a similar project in the alley …
