MAYOR & BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT Mayor Johnson — There was a Joint Reiew Board Meeting on April 14 as part of the process to establish the shopping center area at Arlington Heights Road and Higgins Road to be part of a TIF District. We are waiting on preliminary studies on a housing component to determine what is feasible for that area. Mayor Johnson will be meeting with all the business owners of the shopping center to ascertain their needs of square footage, etc. Saturday will be the last day for Elk Grove Bowl to be open for business. There were several stories on Channel 5 and Channel 2 about the bowling alley. The Village hopes to put out an RFP by mid -summer for local developers to view the perameters that the Village has set. There may be companies coming in with ideas that we didn't think of and they will understand that we desire to keep the businesses that are there. We will keep everyone informed.

Trustee Schmidt — On April 14, I went to a meeting with Deputy Village Manager Maggie Jablonski at the Illinois Tollway Western Access Local Advisory Committee. The construction includes 17 miles of new toll roads, 15 new and improved interchanges, and 31 miles of local road improvements. The benefits of this project is to reduce traffic congestion and to allow western access to O'Hare Airport. The completion target is still 2026. In 2023 Construction will begin at the I-490 and 1-390 interchange (Elmhurst /Thorndale), this would connect the I-390 (Elgin O'Hare) Tollway with the I-490 which would go around the western edge of the airport. And the 1-90 and I-490 interchange would connect where the old oasis used to be on the Jane Addams Tollway, and the big project that will effect Elk Grove is Touhy Avenue, between Mount Prospect Road and York Road or Elmhurst Road. First they will construct a bridge over the railroad tracks, just west of Mount Prospect Road. Touhy Avenue has about 55,000 cars a day traveling on it. They will do a total reconstruction of Touhy and Elmhurst with a new traffic pattern. More details will follow as the work begins. There will be a lot of construction from 2023-2026. Attended the Community Character Coalition's Cultural Celebration with the Sister Cities group and worked at the Bocce Ball station. I stopped by the Bowling Alley today to wish Debbie Handler and her husband fairwell. The Elk Grove Bowl will be closing on Saturday. We spoke about many memories through the years. 5.
