Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows would share costs of Weber Drive work Rolling Meadows City Manager Barry Krumstok Rolling Meadows Alderman Nick Budmats

Arlington Heights and Rolling Meadows are likely to partner on reconstruction of a half-mile stretch of a north-south thoroughfare that runs through both towns.
Weber Drive, also known as Old Wilke Road, is a two-lane street between Algonquin Road and Central Road that has a traffic volume of less than 5,000 vehicles per day but is in poor condition and has been in Rolling Meadows capital improvement plan for years, officials say.
The traffic signals are outdated and pedestrian crossings are also in need of update, they added.
One of the most critical responsibilities of any municipality is investing in and maintaining its infrastructure. In a city the size of Rockford, that means 518 miles of local roads, 216 miles of arterial and collector streets, 82 miles of alleys, 260 traffic signals, 131 bridges and box culverts, 12,399 street lights, three dams, 799 miles of sidewalk, 33,216 street signs and 34,557 inlets and sewer covers.
That’s just a few of the highlights of our infrastructure, and residents and visitors may not always realize the amount of complicated work that goes into their maintenance.
Each year city staff present to the Rockford City Council an updated Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This rolling five-year document is a road map for the city’s infrastructure investments. In early December, the City Council passed the fiscal year 2021-25 CIP. The current CIP will invest more than $129 million in the backbone that keeps our community stable.
