Seasonal street maintenance on Fullerton Avenue. Elmwood Park illinois. Early October 2007.

I took this photo one mild and sunny Autum afternoon, in October of 2007. We are looking east on Fullerton Avenue in near northwest suburban Elmwood Park Illinois. Winter will be arriving in the greater Chicagoland area within the next two months. Sometimes, even less than that.

Street maintenance and paving is being performed ahead of time before the ice and snow come to Chicago. A nice coat of fresh asphalt, provides an example of preventive maintenance here. Winter conditions wreak havoc on the streets of Chicago and the surrounding communities every year. This crew is keeping things one step ahead for now in this photo.
