Dear Mr. Kotula:
The Oak Brook Safety Pathway Committee is commissioned by the Village of Oak Brook and the Oak Brook
Park District to oversee the development of a pathway system throughout the Village, as well as creating
links with surrounding communities and with the regional pathway system. Tom Suhs, Director of Parks and
Recreation for the Park District, and I coordinate staff support to the committee.
Recently, one of our committee members, Mr. Steve McShane, happened to meet Charlie Usher, one of your
commissioners, and I understand they discussed some possible opportunities to create links between the Oak
Brook system and Hinsdale. Mr. Usher suggested that we contact you to invite appropriate representatives of
Hinsdale to attend one of our committee's regular meetings to discuss the possibilities of working together
on pathway development.
Please consider this suggestion and let me know if you think such interaction could be productive. Our
committee meets on the second Wednesday of alternate months. The next meeting is set for January 10.
I look forward to hearing from you.
