The purpose of the meeting is to seek public input and comments on the proposed preliminary design plans. The meeting will be conducted in an informal open house format from 4 to 6 p.m. on July 16, 2024, in the Council Chamber of Brookfield Village Hall, 8820 Brookfield Ave.
Exhibits will be on display for viewing, and representatives from the Village and their consultant will be available for discussion and to answer questions on an individual basis.
The streetscape improvements will consist of removal and replacement of existing lighting, new concrete sidewalk with a 2-foot-wide strip of brick pavers at the back of curb, removal and replacement of tree grates with new trees, brick paver crosswalks, masonry seat wall, and new electrical connections for improved event experiences. Pedestrian lighting will be installed on the north side of Brookfield Avenue from Prairie Avenue to Arden Avenue.
