The Village of Green Oaks is a small and proud community approximately 30 miles north of O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois. Our community is rich in tradition that affords the pleasantries of quiet country living, excellent schools, access to major highways and tollways, single family home on large lots, all complemented by our growing commercial and retail business district.
If you are just browsing or are looking for specific information, our site has much to offer. I hope you will enjoy the information we have provided. If there is something you wish to find out about our village, you may send specific questions to vilgrnoaks@aol.com for an appropriate reply.

This project is now underway!

Progress continues to be made on the 2019 Road Improvement
Project. Updates for specific project areas are below:
Update as of 10/11/2019 at 2pm
Over the past week the
contractor completed the binder layer of asphalt in Reigate Woods, south
sections. They also completed the driveway patches in Tantara, Reigate
and Forest Cove, and the landscaping in Tantara and Forest Cove. They
also started working on punchlist items.
Saddle Hill, Greenbrier,
Pearson/Crest/Benson,
Margate/Hawthorn, Forest Lake/Forest Cove – All road work and
the majority of the landscaping has been completed. The contractor also
started on the punchlist work, including brick and cobble driveways, as crews became
available. Landscaping behind the new curbs and the asphalt driveway
patches were completed this week in Forest Lake/Forest Cove. If you have
any concerns regarding the work adjacent to your property, please let us know
so that they may be addressed. We will be issuing the punchlist for this area
on Friday, October 18th and need any issues identified by that
time. There will be a spring punchlist related to issues that arise over
winter.
One additional question the Village has received is whether the netting
on the straw blanket will need to be removed. The netting will degrade
over time and should not need to be removed. The grass growth should be
sufficient that mowing will not impact the netting. If you must remove
the netting, please wait at least one growing season so that removing the
netting does not impact the new grass growth.
Reigate Woods
– The contractor completed the first layer of asphalt last Saturday and this
past Monday in the southern sections (Reigate Lane south of Braemore, and the
six courts). Most of the driveways throughout the subdivision that were
impacted by curb replacement work have been repaired. Additional curbs
that spalled due to milling or that need to be adjusted to correct drainage
issues will be replaced as soon the concrete crews have availability, hopefully
next week, weather permitting. After these concrete curb repairs are
made, the landscaping and final surface layer of asphalt will follow throughout
the subdivision, starting in the north sections. If you have any concerns
regarding the work adjacent to your property, please let us know so that they
may be addressed.
In Reigate Woods, during installation of
the surface layer, the asphalt will need to cool after rolling prior to being
opened to traffic so as to not mar the surface. Some driveway and
side-street access will be limited near the paving operations for a few hours
after placement to permit the asphalt time to cool. The Village will send
an announcement in advance of the surface layer of paving, and if you have any
reason to need ingress/egress during the paving operations that can be
coordinated in advance with Lisa. We anticipate surface paving will be
completed over a period of three days.
Tantara – The driveways and grassy areas that
were impacted by the curb replacement work were patched and landscaped this
week. Milling is now scheduled for early next week; the crews were
delayed this week. Grading and paving will follow as soon as possible.
If you have any concerns regarding the work adjacent to your property,
please let us know so that they may be addressed.
Hanlon/Guerin – Milling on Hanlon and Guerin,
including the intersection of Guerin and O’Plaine, is scheduled for next week,
in conjunction with the milling in Tantara, weather permitting. The
grading and paving of these areas will follow as soon as possible based on crew
availability.
Herky Drive – Herky Drive located in the business
district will be closed starting October 14th with an anticipated
reopening on October 31st. During this time vehicular access
to Herky Drive will be detoured through the Bradley Road Extension at the
signalized intersection of Route 176 and Bradley Road.
Thank you for your patience during construction & continuing to keep vehicle speeds down through the construction zones for
everyone’s safety. Please remember to keep windows closed while work is in progress due to dusty conditions.
