B. System Signage. Village Manager Veitch reported that supplies for the new Village street markers are
expected to begin arriving soon.
C. System Map. Park District Director Suhs presented a near -final proof for review. The Committee
responded positively and pointed out a number of minor adjustments and corrections. It was agreed that each
member would review the map further and submit their suggestions to Mr. Suhs. Director Subs and Manager
Veitch will meet and conduct a final review of the document before re- submitting it to the printer. Village
Manager Veitch will obtain a copy of Downers Grove's system map in order to correctly reflect any
connection points to Oak Brook.
D. South DuPage County Regional Trail. Manager Veitch presented pathway system maps obtained from
Hinsdale and Westmont. He reported that Clarendon Hills has no designated system, and hence no map.
Hinsdale's only indicated connection to Oak Brook is not quite a connection at all as it would appear to
involve use of the private roads between Salt Creek Lane and York Road. The map does not officially
designate the connection. The Hinsdale system appears to meet the Southern DuPage Regional Trail route at
8th Street and Madison Street, near Madison School. Manager Veitch will talk further with Hinsdale
regarding the Madison Street corridor, the Salt Creek Lane connection and the Minneola Street connection to
Western Springs via the Tollway bridge.
Westmont's map indicates a connection to Oak Brook's system at 35th Street and Oakwood Drive. Manager
Veitch will talk further with Westmont concerning showing a connection at the Cass/Midwest S -curve.
Westmont's system connects to the Regional Trail route at 59`" Street.
5. NEW BUSINESS
There was no new business.
