1. Minutes of the October meeting were approved, with the exception of item
4, which states "...only two easements are available for the extension of the
pathway to Cantebury Lane." It should say "...only two easements are
needed...' .
2. Pathway map: According to the Village Newsletter, it has gone to print. It
will be taken off the list of agenda items.
3 22nd Street Pathway: There are still problems with the NiGas easement
which create a conflict with IDOT policies. No resolution yet.
4. Roy Cripe reported that the McDonald's land deal has resulted in
$250,000 earmarked for the Conservation Department of Dupage County for the
benefit of the village. It may be used to acquire easements. Possibly could be
used for an underpass under 31st Street, or connecting Dean's Farm to Graue
Mill.
5. York Road Pathway. Nothing new to report.
6 Midwest Road Pathway A motion by Heidi Huizenga that reiterated that
Midwest Road pathway is essential to the whole pathway system plan passed.
