Public Participation

Erv Jezek 444 W. Crescent Boulevard spoke regarding the recent accidents where cars |
have careened into the building. He asked why a barricade has not been erected at this |
location. |
David J. Menini, 444 W. Crescent also spoke on the same issue. He indicated that the |
Village was not responding to the situation. His understanding was that only a study |
was done, nothing else was authorized and that the issue would still have to go back to |
the Transportation Committee |
Trustee Tross reviewed the meeting at which he made a motion to authorize a study and |
proceed with construction of barricades without delay if recommended by the study. He |
said that appropriate action would be taken without going back to the Committee. He |
wanted to verify that was how the motion read. |
Trustee Kufrin read the specific wording of the motion made in the June 17, 1999 |
meeting minutes which authorized not only the study but the quick construction of |
barricades if that is what is recommended in the study. |
