2. Reports:
A. 22nd Street Pathway:
Jon Sommer
reported that NIGas
has approved of the
plan for the
pathway to go
over their property,
but there still may
be a need for the village
or park district to
obtain bids for this
part of the
pathway IDOT will now do an
internal review before preparation-of
final plans
Bid calendar will
be set in Springfield
for June, July
or August
B. York Road Pathway- An informal resident meeting was
held at the home of Ana Sisson. There were 15 residents in
attendance. Several people were concerned with the way the
pathway plan would cut into their property The plan is based on the
future expansion of York Road which will not take place for the next
five years, so people expressed the feeling that the pathway should
be built closer to the existing roadway Tom Hawk suggested that
we should take the position of gathering information, and that the
village will try to accommodate residents' concerns Dale Durfey

reported by memo that environmental issues are still being
considered by IDOT. The public hearing will be postponed until these
issues have been reviewed.
C. Midwest Road: Dale Durfey reported by memo that the
Midwest Road reconstruction and widening is planned for 1996. This
would include safety pathways wherever feasible. Dale has stressed
to the county that the village is desirous of constructing pathways
on both sides of Midwest Road.
3. Priority discussion:
A. Drainage problem in Route 83 underpass: This problem
has not yet been addressed. Dale D_urfey had indicated at an earlier__
meeting that this is a high--priority. Tom Hawk will check with Mike
Miranda to see if any action is planned.
B. Extension of Spring Road pathway south of Adams Street:
Jon Sommer suggested that a meeting could be set up with Bob Vick,
head of planning for the Forest Preserve District to consider a
pathway along the west side of Spring Road. Jill Fleishman and
Steve McShane will survey the possibility of a safety lane along
Madison Street, and the possibilities for the Spring Road pathway to
connect with the Forest Preserve trail at Madison Street.

the committee.
