Notice of Public Improvements
Affected Residents of Shades Subdivision, Phase 2
Attention, residents of Shades Subdivision (Fairbanks St, Windsor Ave, Hobart St, Fernwood Ave):
Due to delays out of the Town’s control caused by NIPSCO during gas main relocation work, the start of construction for this project is being delayed and is now scheduled to start in the early Spring of 2026. The Town wants to ensure they are giving their contractors enough time to construct the project according to plan before winter weather arrives. There will be another resident notice distributed sometime early next year letting the residents know when construction plans to begin ahead of time once the project team is able to gage when the winter weather is coming to an end.
We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. NIPSCO/Meade will be working throughout the Fall restoring any roadways and landscaping areas they disturbed during their gas main relocation work. If you have any questions relating to this project, please contact the Town or Matt Scarsella (Construction Engineer) w/ Christopher B. Burke Engineering who is running this project in the field on behalf of the Town of Cedar Lake. His cell phone number is (317) 619-2796 and his email is mscarsella@cbbel-in.com.
Thank you.
