2. Steve Plumb from the Elmhurst Park District joined the
meeting as a special guest. He reported on the Salt Creek Greenway
project. There are 13 partner agencies, and the project extends
from Busse Woods to Chicago Portage. There is a $739,000 Illinois
IDOT ISTEA enhancement grant, but signatures from Elk Grove and
Wooddale are not forthcoming. After signatures, it will take 24
months of engineering. Some grants will run out if delays continue.
