First two ahsd25 school expansions for kindergarten approved in ArlingtonHtsGov
Village trustees reviewed plans for expansions at Westgate Elementary, 500 S. Dwyer Ave., and Dryden Elementary, 722 S. Dryden Place. They're the two largest projects of six planned in District 25, as authorized by voters in a $75 million tax-increase referendum last summer.
At Westgate, 10 new classrooms and a new gymnasium will be constructed on the southwest corner of the building, while the existing gym will be repurposed into three new classrooms. Also planned is a larger playground, a reconfigured parking lot to improve vehicle flow, and an underground stormwater detention basin.
But residents and some trustees raised concerns late Monday that the basin wouldn't fix flooding problems that have existed in the neighborhood at least since the last expansion at Dryden in 2007.
