Development News from the latest meeting
City of Wood Dale: 7/9/2026 Committee of the Whole
Published: Jul 9, 2026
FY2027 Road Program Approved; Storm Sewer Extension Alternate Declined Due to Cost
The committee discussed the fiscal year 2027 road program and a specific agreement with Builder Paving. The base bid for the program includes Welter, Lincoln, and Robin streets. Alternate one adds Potter Street from Mill to Prospect, which was budgeted. Alternate two involves extending storm sewers along the back of curb to areas without them, requiring significant disruption to driveways, parkways, trees, utilities, and mailboxes, leading to an exorbitant cost. Director Lang did not recommend proceeding with Alternate two at this time due to cost, suggesting alternatives like surveying resident interest for connections or stubbing out for future extensions. The committee discussed the cost implications and directed staff to obtain pricing for potential stubs as part of the motion to approve the base bid and Alternate one. The area on Potter Street has not been worked on since the late 1990s.
Mary Jane Lane Drainage Improvement Project Approved
The committee approved an agreement with Manaval Construction for the Mary Jane Lane drainage improvement project. This project involves minor storm sewer modifications along Mary Jane Lane to increase the size of conveyance sewers and redirect flow into a new detention basin being added by the Forest Preserve on their Maple Meadows Golf Course property. The detention basin will provide additional storage for the area, estimated at 2 acre-feet (approximately 600,000 gallons). The work will mostly occur in the street, with some parkway restoration needed. The committee ensured that topsoil would be used during restoration to allow for grass growth.
Traffic Signal Installation at Illinois 19 and Central Avenue Approved
The committee approved an agreement with RW Duntman Company for the Illinois 19 at Central Avenue Signalization Project. This project involves the long-awaited installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Central Avenue and Irving Park Road. IDOT has provided approval, and the bid came in under budget. RW Duntman previously completed intersection improvements at Irving and Wooddale and is familiar with the area. Work is expected to commence later this year, dependent on contractor availability and material lead times.
HR Green to Provide Construction Oversight for Illinois 19 Signalization Project
The committee approved a professional services agreement with HR Green for construction oversight of the Illinois 19 at Central Avenue Signalization Project. This agreement covers the engineering aspect of the intersection improvement project. Both the construction and engineering will be funded using motor fuel tax funds.
Deuces Wild Barbecue Project Approved with Zoning Variations
The committee reviewed a zoning variation and site plan review for Deuces Wild Barbecue at 265 East Irving Park Road. The project involves a approximately 2800 sq ft restaurant with a drive-thru, an enclosed patio, and 58 seats. The proposal requires multiple zoning variations including setbacks, parking, landscaping, building materials, and signage. The applicant, 265 Venture Partners LLC, presented the project emphasizing its branding and the need for concessions to facilitate redevelopment in the Town Center Business district, aligning with the city's comprehensive plan. The Committee recommended approval of the special use for the drive-thru, site plan review, plat of subdivision, and text amendment to allow for landscape variations. Several variations, including for building materials and signage, were also approved or recommended for approval. The project is part of a larger vision for redevelopment along Irving Park Road, with the potential to create a campus feel with existing structures.
