Public Participation
President Bill Mueller in attendance. |
President Mueller informed the committee that a tentative agreement/solution had been |
reached with IDOT concerning Rte. 53. Wanted committee to be aware that this was |
going to be in the papers tomorrow. From North Ave. to St. Charles Rd. Rte. 53 will be |
5 lanes (with a center turn lane). Should be signals at Meadow and Rte. 53 and |
Madison and Rte. 53. Will be a public hearing this Spring. Will keep the intersections |
closed through that time (right turn only). Glen Ellyn is also closing down 2 of theirs. |
Will review again in 5 years/concerned about signals at these 2 locations. No pedways |
or curbs except between North Avenue and St. Charles Road. |

Cuny: reviewed the item enclosed with agenda packets. In November, added 2 officers |
through the IDOT grant. Speed trailer is broken at this time but should be working |
shortly. Bedard: asked about the graphing for the report. Cuny: should be done by |
next meeting. Schwarz: in reference to "school zone hours", is it the amount of hours |
that these are patrolled? Cuny: yes. Schwarz: do you actually clock on the 20 mph |
zone? Cuny: yes. Schwarz: is there any sort of leeway with this? Cuny: yes. Pool: |
issue warnings and then if they do it again, they get a ticket? Cuny: yes. Gron: |
miscalculation on DUI's from October to November? Cuny: not really, there was some |
data entry errors, but the total for the year is 300. |
