to be complete later this year.
• 31" Street. Phase II design engineering remains complete and is ready for bid. The Village Board
approved a contract with the engineer for Phase III construction engineering at its meeting of March 23,
2004 and approved the Joint Agreement with IDOT regarding construction funding at its meeting of
April 13, 2004. We anticipate IDOT bidding the project on June 11, 2004.
• Salt Creek Greenway (Regional Trail). Phase II design engineering has begun. The project will most
likely be built in 2005.

potential of naming certain loops or color coding segments. Member Doyle suggested that signage be
installed along Madison Street and Adams Road for their on- street designation.

C. System Maintenance. Along the west side of Spring Road, between 31" Street and Adams Road, the
pathway has soft areas. Village Engineer Durfey will contact DuPage County and request a curb cut
opposite Mockingbird Lane. Pathway committee members can take it upon themselves to count pedestrian
volumes along roadways that they perceive as having pedestrians and then relating that to the committee for
possible inclusion of new pathway segments into the Priority List. Member Dinkel offered to count Windsor
Drive, north of 22nd Street.
D. Street Markings. Chairman Cullum asked about the status of the cross walk standard that was discussed
at the last meeting. Village Engineer Durfey stated that it would be logical to place it into the Public Works
Construction Standards that should go before the Village Board for revisions soon.
