WESTERN SPRINGS, IL Western Springs this week decided to redo a portion of Hillgrove Avenue, replacing the asphalt with concrete.

Earlier this month, the Hinsdale Village Board went a different way with its Eighth Street project. It chose asphalt over concrete.

The lowest bid that Hinsdale received for concrete wasn t as high as officials originally thought $1.5 million, about $200,000 more than the asphalt option. Despite debates over the choice, trustees unanimously voted for asphalt, saying the traffic didn t warrant the extra cost of concrete.
