Infrastructure and People

Oak Park’s infrastructure encompasses hundreds of miles of streets, sewers, water mains, and alleys, much of which is aging or outdated. My top budgeting priority will always be to maintain and upgrade this infrastructure, as it is the literal foundation upon which our Village is built.

I will advocate for accelerating sewer upgrades to improve drainage and prevent basement flooding, ensure street resurfacing keeps pace with our challenging climate, and work to fast-track the alley rebuilding program.
