A Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Parkway Construction Permit Agreement between the Village of Oak Park and the Park District of Oak Park and Authorizing its Execution
..end
Introduction
overview
In 2012 the Park District of Oak Park (PDOP) constructed a project in the public right-of-way adjacent to their Cheney Mansion property including resetting slate sidewalks and installing a new entry way and signage in the parkway. At the time the Village entered into an agreement with the PDOP to allow for this project and per the agreement made the PDOP responsible for the slate sidewalk, concrete entryway, and signage. The PDOP has replaced the slate sidewalk with concrete sidewalk as part of the Village’s sidewalk project and this amendment revises the original agreement to no longer require the PDOP to be responsible for the public sidewalk at this location.
