President Johnson stated that the Board met earlier this evening with
businessmen from the Greater O'Hare Association and representatives of
American Airlines and United Airlines discussing issues regarding
O'Hare Airport and its effect on Elk Grove Village, residents and
businesses. The Board wanted the opportunity for all members to ask
questions and also the residents in attendance. It was felt that it
was in the best interest of the Village to continue that meeting
before adjourning to this meeting. It had been hoped that meeting
would conclude at 6 : 00 p.m.
President Johnson apologized to the residents for having to wait. It
was the consensus of the Board to have the audience portion of the
agenda at this time 9 : 05 p.m.
AUDIENCE - 9:05 p.m.
Mr. Emil Poprawski, 506 Oakton Street, addressed the Board on what he
considers major traffic issues on Oakton Street. Mr. Poprawski
referred to speeding vehicles and overweight trucks. He cited what he
considered safety problems due to the traffic use of Oakton as a four
lane road. He asked the Board to consider reducing the speed limit to
25 mph on Oakton; striping of the roadway for parking, striping for
single lane usage; flashing yellow lights at the stop sign at Wildwood
Road and Oakton Street; 5 ton weight limit for trucks. Examples of
streets in other communities were noted.
President Johnson responded to Mr. Poprawski concerns, stating that
after tonight there will be a noticeable amount of police presence and

Mrs . Priscilla Poprawski, 506 Oakton, addressed the Board regarding
changing the speed limit to 25 mph and striping of parking spaces
noting the safety factor and overweight trucks on Oakton Street .
Mrs. Poprawski also questioned why not a crosswalk in that area.
Kathleen Stoneski, 516 Oakton Street, stated that she has the same
concerns that have been expressed regarding safety, especially for her
two children and asked the Board to consider striping Oakton.
President Johnson stated that the situation will be reviewed and Mr.
Poprawski will be notified of the outcome of that review.
Mr. Bill Piscitello, 512 Oakton Street, noted the decay of the street
surface on Oakton Street and was informed that Oakton Street will be

presence on Perrie Drive. Mr. Buldak voiced a complaint regarding
dogs in Udall Park and his conversations concerning the dogs with
9-1-1 operators. Mr. Buldak was informed that his complaint would be
looked into.
Mr. Buldak then questioned the Stop Signs at Howard and Lively and the
number of accidents at that intersection. The Police Chief will check
on the number of accidents in that area. President Johnson informed
Mr. Buldak that the Board will receive copies of his letters and the
response to him as a matter of course.
Mr. Glen Meyers, 329 Trowbridge, addressed the Board regarding a
