The Gateway Signs Business Park Phase II project will provide site improvements at two gateway sign locations within the Business Park. The location of these signs are the southwest corner of Elmhurst Road and Landmeier Road, and at our southern Village limits on Busse Road. The Village will also remove signs made redundant by other welcoming markers and that have served their time. These signs are located along Higgins Road just east of Arlington Heights Road, the intersection of Higgins Road and Oakton Street, and at Busse Road just south of Oakton Street.
