Proposed improvements to Weiland Road and Lake-Cook Road are still on the table as studies progress.
Improvements to Weiland and Lake-Cook roads will cost more than originally expected, an engineer told Buffalo Grove officials last week. In an update to Village Board members, Civiltech engineer Bob Andres said the Weiland Road expansion project is now estimated to cost $40 million, while Lake-Cook Road improvements are estimated at $54 million. Earlier estimates placed the costs at $32 million and $40 million, respectively. “Assuming this may be built within the next six to eight years, we’ve inflated the cost to cover any contingencies,” Andres said, noting that if construction began now, the estimates would likely be 15 to 20 percent less. The updated estimates also include a new lighting system for Weiland Road and temporary lighting …

Buffalo Grove officials agreed to spend more money to help move the projects forward.
Buffalo Grove officials signed off Monday on $467,000 in unexpected engineering costs associated with the widening of Weiland/Prairie and Lake-Cook roads. But, they added, the village will ultimately pay only a fraction of that amount. About half of the expense will be used to complete a study of Lake-Cook Road between Hastings Lane and Raupp Boulevard. The $241,000 will be fully reimbursed by the Cook County Highway Department, officials said. The remaining $226,000 will be used to complete the first study phase of the Weiland/Prairie corridor from Lake-Cook Road to Route 22. Lake County will reimburse the village for about 83 percent of the cost, leaving Buffalo Grove’s portion at $38,421, Public Works Director Greg Boysen said. Studies …

Portions of Lake-Cook and McHenry roads were closed Sunday evening in Buffalo Grove following a car fire.
No one was injured Sunday evening when an SUV caught on fire at the intersection of Lake-Cook Road and Route 83 in Buffalo Grove. Police and fire crews responded to the call at 5:42 p.m., when a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer began smoking in the middle of the intersection. "The family got out of it, no problem," Police Cpl. Vince Positano said. Westbound Lake-Cook Road was temporarily closed at McHenry, and northbound Buffalo Grove Road was closed just north of the Lou Malnati's entrance. Black smoke could be seen from The Grove shopping center, anchored by Jewel. Positano said an electrical problem possibly caused what developed into a full blaze. The vehicle "just started smoking inside" and within minutes "there were flames coming out all the …
