3. PROJECT UPDATES
Village Manager Veitch provided updates on various pathway projects:
• Harger/York. Phase H engineering is continuing. Meetings are being held with IDOT, ISTHA and the
DuPage Water Commission to review items of concern. In connection with the Village project that will
eventually tie the Harger path to the Harger/York path, Richardson encouraged the Village to continue to
consider a cantilevered structure attached to the bridge over Salt Creek.
• 31" Street. IDOT has approved the contract for Phase II engineering services and the joint funding
agreement. Phase II engineering will begin shortly.
• Salt Creek Greenway (Regional Trail). The consortium is still awaiting final IDOT approval of the re-
revised Project Development Report. In the meantime, the amendment to the intergovernmental
agreement for Phase H engineering has been executed. Phase II can proceed upon IDOT approval of the
Phase I report.
4. OLD BUSINESS
A. Maintenance Activities. Village Manager Veitch reported that the annual spring inspection was
completed. Various locations were identified for attention including, particularly, the Harger Road path
between Spring Road and Salt Creek, which will have several sections resurfaced. Park District President
Trier reported that the mirror facing westbound traffic under Jorie Boulevard at the McDonald's campus is
broken.

B. System Si2nage. Manager Veitch reported that installation of the new Village street markers has begun
and the reviews are very positive. Once this project is complete the Public Works staff will turn their
attention to adding pathway markers. It was noted that a number of "hitching post" type signs will be needed
where street markers are not located.
C. Pathway System Map. The final proof was presented for the Committee's review. A few changes were
made. Manager Veitch noted that the Hyatt Lodge at McDonald's Campus has submitted information for the
hotels section. Miologos suggested an early second printing in order to incorporate the new Marriott Suites
property when it opens. She also suggested distribution of the first printing as an insert to the Village
newsletter.
5. NEW BUSINESS
Miologos suggested that installation of "fold- down" or removable bollards be considered at those locations
on the system where a motor vehicle could inadvertently enter. Examples include 3151 Street at Grant Street,
Trinity Lane adjacent to 355, and east of the Village Commons.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
There was discussion of the current vacancies on the Committee as well as the "sunset" upcoming in June,
2003. It was the consensus of those present that the Committee ought to continue to exist through
completion of the major links and in order to advocate for the system in the future, but that the Committee
could be smaller and meet less frequently. After discussion, Richardson moved, seconded by Miologos, to
recommend to the Village President and Board of Trustees that Title 2, Chapter 7 of the Village Code be
amended to reduce the total number of members from nine to seven and the required number of members
from each quadrant of the Village from two to one. It was noted that this change should make it easier to
maintain a full complement of members. Further, it was agreed to try a quarterly meeting schedule.
Village Manager Veitch advised the Committee that he had resigned the position of Village Manager to
dccept a management position with an international law firm. He thanked the Committee members for their
cooperation and efforts on behalf of the Village's pathway system. The Committee expressed its
appreciation for the staff support provided by Manager Veitch and its hope that similar support continues in
the future.
7. ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Miologos, seconded by Richardson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:20 p.m. Passed
unanimously.
s
The next Committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 9, 2002.
Respectfully Submitted,
Stephen B. Veitch
