It was moved by Schwarz, seconded by Bedard, to approve. The motion carried |
by a voice vote |
Johnson: spent some time going over this item for the members present. Lepins: Any |
complaints from the neighborhood? Johnson: none at all. Lepins: Police supervision? |
Dane: Yes, first few days. |
It was moved by Bedard, seconded by Kuehl, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by the following vote: |
Enactment No: Ordinance 5219 "No |
Johnson: reviewed this item with committee members. Originally proposed to be until |
4:00 but signs were posted until 3:30 and worked out well. |
It was moved by Gron, seconded by Bedard, that this matter be recommended to |
the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by the following vote: |
Enactment No: Ordinance 5219 Scha |
Johnson: cited report from Civiltech. Their recommendation is to widen the road. |
Soderstrom: on east side by Brown's Chicken there is a curb cut/will this still be in the |
plan? Johnson: I did not see it. Soderstrom: staff would like to see this remain if |
possible. There are other developments that we may be seeing in the future that could |
be effected by this. Bedard: would right in/right out be approved there? Soderstrom: |
yes. Schwarz: what is the time table on this? Johnson: I do not believe there is one. |
Would depend on funding available. Would have to be put in to the budget and capital |
improvement plan. Soderstrom: funding for the project is going to be attempted to be |
obtained through DuPage Mayors and Managers (grant). Timing will depend on |
obtaining the grant. Burg: yes, if we get a grant it will move this up in priority. |
Schwarz: have heard that people are using Homeland Defense funds to make |
improvements to traffic signals (in case of power outage) that would keep them going. |
Kuehl: just did grind and overlay at Roosevelt and will be redoing this? Burg: this was |
just because it desperately needed to be done. This project will involve widening the |
road also. Lepins: grinding would be a relatively small part of the project anyway, |
correct? Burg: yes. Gron: create new left turns at Edwards and Morris? Cuny: yes |
and we thoroughly endorse this. Look at Main & Wilson and what that used to be. |
About the 10th highest accident location in Lombard. Gron: what about street lighting? |
Johnson: will probably be attached to the signal arm post. Schwarz: are we going to |
approach the owners of the shopping center for any funds? Soderstrom: that was |
talked about but has not been done. There could be a possibility of some contribution, |
but nothing we are planning on. Gron: what about Main from Wilson through St. |
Charles, any improvements in the offing? Burg: put off due to lack of funding. |
Schwarz: I endorse the proposed plan as presented by Civiltech and staff |
recommendation (curb cut between Morris and Ann on east side of street be limited to a |
right in/right out only). |
It was moved by Schwarz, seconded by Gron, that this matter be recommended |
to the Board of Trustees for approval. The motion carried by the following vote: |
Enactment No: Main Street (Rooseve |
Lepins: anything on the speed study? Soderstrom: Dane gave me something at the |
October meeting, but I forgot to bring it tonite. Cuny: I will supply committee members |
with September and October. Schwarz: ever had the speed trailer on Jackson around |
Addison? Cuny: we did before, but we have not had any complaints from that area. |
Will try again. |
Cuny: do have some funding from IDOT to have some traffic officers out there/grant |
pays their salaries for three years. Soderstrom: then the village takes over their |
salaries. Kuehl: we will be increasing our force by 3? Cuny: yes. Schwarz: have we |
had any new "Top 10" intersections? Cuny: No Johnson: most of them are State |
intersections. |
Bedard: from time to time banner appears on corner of Main & Wilson. Sometimes |
block the view of traffic. Just please take a look at it. Johnson: because of the berm |
there, we need to position it where it is. Bedard: maybe raise it up? Johnson: already |
high, but will look at it. Bedard: any official recommendation of Rte. 53? Soderstrom: 3 |
lanes throughout the Village. Bedard: what about "No Left Turns"? Soderstrom: will |
remain the same for now; dependant upon acceptance of 3 lanes and signalization that |
would be installed. Harrison is already pork chopped so that will not change. Will either |
be Madison or Charles Lane. Schwarz: IDOT still working on first phase of report? |
Soderstrom: I believe it is. |
It was moved by Schwarz, seconded by Bedard, to adjourn the meeting at 8:07 |
PM. The motion carried by a voice vote |
