The much-anticipated drainage improvements for Flossmoor’s Berry Lane have been completed. Now, all that remains is the parkway restoration scheduled for this spring and a true test of the neighborhood’s increased stormwater capacity.
“Not that we want a big storm, but we want to see a good gullywasher come through — a good 6-7 inch storm — to see what happens and how it reacts to it,” said John Brunke, the village’s public works director.
Sections of drainage line await installation in July as part of the Berry Lane project. (Eric Crump/H . . .
