Public Works Public Works Department
The Public
Works facility is located at 347 Ivy Court. The building and yards,
located in the Northwest corner of the Village, are bordered by Winnetka
on the north, the Metra railroad on the west, and the neighborhoods along
Abbotsford Road and Ivy Court. The Public
Works Department is staffed by three full time employees led by
Superintendent Ignazio Fiorentino. The Department is responsible for such
duties as street cleaning, sanitary and storm sewer maintenance, snow
removal, signage and sign maintenance, forestry, and street maintenance
and repair. In 2000, with
the passage of a Bond referendum, a new facility to house the Public Works
Department was built. The earlier facility, which was built in 1950, had
become outdated and inadequate to meet the needs of the Village, and was a
neighborhood eyesore. The new facility incorporates protected storage for
all of the equipment, indoor maintenance shops for equipment repair and
storage, protected areas for storage of repair parts and maintenance
materials, a salt storage shed that meets IEPA guidelines, and sufficient
open area to allow for the flow of equipment and machinery to maintain the
Village infrastructure. The Public
Works Department shares the facility space with the Water Department and
the Park District, both of which use the facility to garage their vehicles
and equipment as well as to repair supplies and materials. To contact the Public Works Department: Phone: 847-251-9210 Last updated
