Alley paving petitions urged as spring bids near

Village officials urge property owners to start alleys paving petitions now to secure lower bids amid favorable weather. With spring bids, economists estimate cost savings up to 30 percent, potentially reducing $50 on a 5 foot lot and $1.05 per foot for every foot of alley frontage. The village board plans paving only where a majority of affected owners consent, ensuring value for money.
