You can find more information about this project at: http://www.washingtonunderpass.com/

Washington Street Traffic Update!
|
|
|
Update on Washington St. From Grandview to Haryan:
Traffic moves to the new eastbound pavement on Friday, September 9th. We will be working all day to install the pavement markings and relocate the signage to open the new lanes. Please use caution all day long on your trips through the project. We hope to open the new lanes mid-afternoon. We will install temporary driveways and temporary roads, so please be very careful if you live on the project or use the side streets.
We are working with the contractor to revise their work plans at Hainesville Road. We may begin work there right away to get those turn lanes back to commuters as soon as possible.
Again, please use extra caution and expect to see flaggers and workers all day on Friday, September 9th, as we work to open the new lanes to traffic.

Consolidated Elections April 4, 2017
|
|
|
Elections for Township positions seems so far away. It is not even winter for goodness sake. However, there are a couple of dates that are worth remembering if you are planning to run for any position at Avon Township.
Every four years all elected officials for Avon Township are open. Whether you are running as a part of a slate or running as an independent candidate, there are 8 positions, Supervisor, Highway Commissioner, Assessor, Clerk and four Trustees. Nomination petitions may start being circulated on September 20, 2016. The first day to file nomination papers is December 12, 2016. With those dates in mind, you may pick up filing information packets on September 13, 2016. This gives potential candidates one week to copy and organize their materials. Packets are available at the Avon Township office during normal office hours.
Please take this opportunity to review the State of Illinois Candidate’s Guide 2017 available on the www.elections.il.gov website. Take some time to find out the responsibilities of each position and the requirements to hold the office. You may also find information on www.lakecountyil.gov/161/county-clerk.
It has been my pleasure to serve you as Avon Township Clerk and I will be happy to help in any way that I can.
I can be reached at jeanne@avontownship.us or call 847-546-1446 x305
