1. Minutes of the May 8, 1997 meeting were approved.
2. Priorities: The village board requested a new priority list.
Tom Richardson will send. Some small projects may be able to be
accomplished during the summer, such as Myers Road, adding a
section between the 35th Street pathway and the new Covington
Court pathway, 22nd Street between Clearwater and Windsor on the
north side, and York Road from Dover to the 188 Spur, and from
Clearwater to the 22nd Street underpass.
3. Project update:
A. York Road: Nothing new.
B. Midwest Road: At the Bicycle Workshop, a question was
raised about the county's obligation to put pathway on both sides of
Midwest Road, according to Sue Walters.
C. Harger /York Road bridges: Still no resolution of Oak
Brook take over of Harger Road Bridge, and the Tollway take over of

this swap.
