If a snowplow blade hits a mailbox while removing snow from the Village streets, then the Village will replace the mailbox. If a snowplow blade strikes a mailbox or mailbox post, then the Village is responsible for replacement. If the mailbox or mailbox post is knocked down by the force of the snow striking it, it is not the Village's responsibility to replace it. The mailbox or mailbox post must clearly show evidence of the blade striking either for the Village to be at fault.

In order to promote public environmental awareness, good husbandry, good conservation practices and to preserve potable water supplies, the use of the Village’s potable water for outdoor watering of landscape and lawns is regulated.

Trees in the parkway are maintained by the Village. Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees on their property.

Full-depth reclamation (FDR) is a reconstruction method that recycles the existing pavement and base materials to create a strong new foundation for the road. It’s used for roadways with significant structural issues. Resurfacing, on the other hand, adds a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement to improve surface conditions and extend pavement life—typically used when the road is still structurally sound.

The Village evaluates and prioritizes projects based on safety, infrastructure condition, and cost-efficiency. These priorities are reflected in the Village’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, which outlines more than $120 million in planned investments through Fiscal Year 2030 across streets, water and sewer systems, parks, and natural areas.

Warranted stop signs meet criteria such as traffic volume, crash history, and visibility, as outlined in national traffic control guidelines. Unwarranted stop signs—those installed without meeting these criteria—can create unsafe driving conditions by encouraging noncompliance or speeding. The Village follows engineering standards to ensure proper placement.

Construction schedules can be affected by weather, utility conflicts, material availability, or contractor timelines. The Village works closely with its partners to minimize delays and keep projects on track. When schedule changes occur, updates are communicated through the Village website, social media channels, and on-site signage whenever possible.

You can view current projects and contact information using the interactive map on this page. To report an issue, use Algonquin Fix It!, a convenient tool powered by SeeClickFix that allows you to submit service requests directly to the Village with just a few clicks.

The Village operates several ongoing maintenance programs to preserve infrastructure and public spaces. These include street sweeping, sidewalk inspection and replacement, curb and pavement repairs, streetlight and sign maintenance, and seasonal services such as snow and ice control. The Village also manages parkway tree trimming, removal, and replacement to promote healthy urban forestry and maintain safety along public rights-of-way.

Public construction projects are initiated, funded, and managed by the Village and focus on improving public infrastructure such as streets, utilities, parks, and public facilities. In contrast, private development projects are led by private entities—such as homebuilders, commercial developers, or property owners—and may include new subdivisions, commercial buildings, or site improvements. While the Village oversees permitting and inspections for private projects, it does not manage their construction schedules or contractors.
