The Metra Star Line will provide mass transit from the east side of O’Hare Airport to Elgin, and south to Joliet. Tonight we will be passing under the Consent Agenda the Resolution in support of the plan that was adopted and supported by the Mayors of the communities along the Northwest Corridor. The goal is within five to seven years to have our first Metra stations opened for Elk Grove Village use. First Elmhurst Road, then Busse and finally Arlington Heights Road. This will help alleviate some of our traffic concerns. Presentation – Larry Day, a former Police Officer, presented to Police Chief Steve Schmidt a poem he authored entitled “A Police Officer”. Volunteer Award – Mayor Johnson presented an award to William (Bill) Shannon in appreciation and recognition of his 40 years of commitment and community involvement to Elk Grove Village. Mr. Shannon thanked the Mayor and Board for the honor and encouraged residents to give a little of their time back into the community by volunteering. O’Hare Airport – Thursday, May 29, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. a Town Meeting will be held at the Village Hall to discuss the airport situation. Special counsel, which we have retained in our behalf, will explain to the residents first hand about the airport issue. As we speak Senate Bill 802 has not been passed in Springfield but we expect it to be. We have a game plan and we can beat this. The Mayor encourages all residents to attend the Town Meeting to meet the experts and will be given the opportunity to ask questions. The Mayor stressed not to sell your homes or businesses. We can and will win. The meeting will also be televised live on Channel 6. Biesterfield Road – Mayor Johnson stated that five weeks ago this evening the Board announced its decision to look for an engineering firm to widen Biesterfield Road. The Mayor has talked and met with concerned residents and stressed that the Village Board has listened to each and every concern. The Board with staff’s recommendation feels Biesterfield Road must go to four lanes. However, the concerns residents have brought up, have been taken into account. Higher curbs, guardrails, traffic barriers, fencing by Link School, straighten out curves, cross walks at Home Avenue, traffic enforcement have all been taken into consideration. The recommendation this evening will be to hire an engineering firm. The residents want to keep Biesterfield Road as a neighborhood-type street in that area, and the Board agrees. Mayor Johnson showed a conceptual idea the engineers will be looking at. The Board will ask the engineering firm to look into a four-lane road with an island down the middle with grass and trees. The trees and landscaping on the sides will be kept. The Mayor emphasized that as soon as the engineers come back with the plan and their recommendations it will be presented to the community at a public meeting. Mayor Johnson requested Item P. on the Consent Agenda be removed and voted upon separately. Motion to award a professional service contract to Civiltech Engineering for design and engineering services for widening Biesterfield Road in a total amount not to exceed $132,300.
