SIGRAGE - WESTGATE/STOCRBRIDGE SUBDIVISIOUS
Members discussed the results of a survey taken in November
1986 concerning the placement of traffic signage in the Westgate
and Stockbridge Subdivisions in the Village. Results were found
to be inconclusive.
Chief Engelbrecht reported on the reduction in traffic counts
since installation of the signs.
Mr. Willis and Al Boffice provided clarification on the reason
for and scope of the study by Homer Chastain and Associates as
contracted by the Village. The study is to determine and analyze
the need for an east-west roadway between Wise Road and Meacham
Road, and to determine the optional characteristics for such a roadway
(if need is determined) based on traffic needs of the entire area.
A solution to cut-through traffic was not requested.
President Zettek added that after receipt of the consultant's
report, factors such as cost, noise, change in area, and property
condemnation would have to be considered by the Board. The impact
of constructing the roadway at 1/2 or 3/4 of the recommended size
could be reviewed. Such consideration is not in the scope of the
current study.
Following discussion, consensus was to restrict westbound
traffic through the subdivisions during the evening hours. Chief
Engelbrecht was asked to determine an appropriate placement of signage
to accomplish this goal.

-2-
1) Revise driveway aprons where required to increase width
at curb;
2) Strictly enforce no parking or driving on sidewalks;
3) replace sidewalks vs. eli-minating them;
4) Where sidewalks are damaged by trucks, seek payment from
property owner;
5) Where sidewalks are damaged from across the street, ask
owner across street to pay; and
6) For high exposure sidewalks, either set back or build
to stronger standards.
Consensus was to have the Director of Public Works evaluate
sidewalks in the industrial park on a geographical basis to determine
those sections of sidewalks which have deteriorated or have been
broken so badly as to be hazardous and are in need of repair.
Consensus of the members was to replace carriage walks on an emergency
basis only.
NICHOLAS BOULEVARD - WATER DETENTION
Al Boffice described the proposed use of a shallow, wide
swale in the parkways between driveways along Nicholas Boulevard
to retain water for short periods of time. Consensus was to approve
the idea and incorporate it into engineering design for reconstruction
of the street.
REQUESTS FOR FUNDS: LIONS, ROTARY, SHELTER, SALVATION ARMY
Following debate, a majority of members agreed: a) to fund
the Rotary Club $3,000 for entertainment at Elk Grove Village Night
during the May Festival; b) to fund $4,000 to Lions Club for 4th
of July fireworks if such a request is made; c) not to fund Shelter,
Inc.; and d) not to fund the Salvation Army.
GOLDEN CORRIDOR FUND REQUEST
Members agreed not to fund the requested $800 to Harper College
for the Golden Corridor matching fund program with the State of
Illinois.
RIWANIS DONATION
Permission was granted to Mr. Willis to receive a donation
of $260 from the Kiwanis Club for the purchase of crime prevention
coloring books.
