Trustee Chernick reported that the Capital Improvements Committee met and
discussed a proposed vehicular and/or pedestrian bridge across Salt Creek at
Clearmont Drive. The Committee has recommended against the construction of a
vehicular bridge for the following reasons:
1 . Arlington Sleights Road is now four lanes and Devon Avenue , now under
reconstruction, will soon be a four lane road and can handle the
traffic much better than routing it through the Village , which would
happen with a bridge at Clearmont Drive.
2. Since the construction of the fire station on Bicstcrficld Road and
with the fire station on Landmeicr Road, there is ample fire protection
in those areas east and west of the creek,
3. It would cost from $600,000 to possibly over $1 ,000,000 to construct a
bridge at this time , and considerable additional cost to raise the
road bed' bocause it is in the flood plain.
Trustee Chernick reported however, that the Committee does recommend building a
bicycle and pedestrian bridge , whereupon it was moved by Trustee Chernick and
seconded by Trustee Specs that the Board direct the Village Manager to recommend
an engineer to draft plans for a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Salt Creek at
Clearmont Drive. The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion
and upon the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Spees ,
