TINLEY PARK, IL — Village of Tinley Park and Cook County officials on Wednesday held a joint ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the 94th Avenue improvement project from 183rd to 171st streets.
Guest speakers included Tinley Park Mayor Michael Glotz, Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison, Cook County Superintendent of Transportation and Highways Jennifer "Sis" Killen, and Tinley Park Public Works Director John Urbanski. Others in attendance included Village Clerk Nancy O'Connor, Village Manager Pat Carr, Village Trustee Bill Brady, Engineering Project Manager Darlene Milanowicz, Assistant Public Works Director Colby Zemaitis, and Village Lobbyist Tom Manion.
Project work included repaving, striping, curb repairs, and new sidewalk and ADA ramps. D Construction was the project contractor, with JJ Newell serving as a concrete subcontractor.
"This project is a testament to the Village's ongoing commitment to ensuring Tinley Park's streets, curbs, sidewalks, parkways, and other vital infrastructure remain in great shape, and a reminder of the good that can come from working together to achieve a shared vision," Mayor Glotz said.
In order to keep the project within the budgeted amount of $700,000, the Village held the pre-construction meeting, oversaw the project, and had its Public Works engineering team handle all pay requests and change orders in-house, the Village said in a release. Robinson Engineering conducted the design engineering.

"We achieve better outcomes for our residents when we work together," Supt. Killen said.
"Investments in infrastructure support community economic growth and improve quality of life for our residents. Cook County contributed $700,000 towards the recently completed 94th Avenue resurfacing project, showcasing the shared goals achieved through impactful collaboration."
