3. Downtown Streetscape Plan

   The City of Wheaton is currently updating and improving underground utilities, roadways, lighting and signage, while creating wider, more pedestrian-friendly sidewalks throughout our downtown. The streetscape project is a result of the completion and adoption of the 2014 Downtown Strategic Plan and Streetscape Plan.

4. Parkway Ash Tree Replacement Program

   The City Council is funding a six-year plan to replace all parkway ash trees with new trees, as long as the sites are deemed suitable for replanting.

5. Program for New Sidewalks

   In February 2018, the City Council voted to approve a program for new sidewalks in the City of Wheaton. The City is working with District 200 and the Wheaton Park District to create a complete pedestrian system to all school and park sites.

6. Roosevelt Road

   In 2018, the City selected the consultant team of Camiros, Ltd. and Valerie Kretchmer & Associates to prepare a Comprehensive Plan/Market Study/Zoning Ordinance Update for the Roosevelt Road Corridor; a nearly two-mile-long corridor extending from Carlton Avenue on the west to the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn border on the east (just past Lorraine Road). The Roosevelt Road Corridor Comprehensive Plan/Market Study/Zoning Ordinance Update process will result in the identification of specific action items that will allow the City to advance the shared vision conceived by this effort.

7. Sanitary Sewer Capacity Improvement Plan

   The City of Wheaton recognizes that sanitary sewer backups are a prime concern of Wheaton residents and their quality of life. To address this problem, the City of Wheaton and the Wheaton Sanitary District developed a long-range plan that will ultimately increase capacity and reduce excess flow in the sanitary sewer system.

8. Sewer Lining Process

   Pipe lining rehabilitates and extends the useful life of sewer lines by installing a resin-infused felt tube into a deteriorated pipe. This process is fast and cost-effective when compared with other methods of repair.

9. Sidewalk Replacement Program

   The City continues working on a long-term program to replace highly defective sidewalk squares throughout the City.

10. Water Meter Replacement Program

    The City’s Water Division will be replacing the majority of the 16,500 water meters within the City as part of its multi-year Water Meter Replacement Program.
