Clarendon Hills Traffic Tie-ups Expected
It's because of a project to add outdoor dining spaces downtown.
CLARENDON HILLS, IL – Starting Monday, Park Avenue in Clarendon Hills will experience road closures and one-way traffic for a month, the village announced Friday.
This is the result of a construction project, which will affect Park Avenue from Prospect to Eastern avenues.
The village is building outdoor dining spaces, known as parklets, on Park Avenue to eliminate the need for concrete barriers each summer, the village said in a statement.

The aim is to improve downtown's aesthetics, keep tables next to restaurants and lessen pedestrian traffic through designated dining areas.
The village also plans the construction of new parking stalls east of the outdoor dining areas.
