The meeting was called to order in the Elk Grove Village
Municipal Building by Trustee Tosto at 6:40 p.m. on Tuesday, January
17, 1989. The purpose of the meeting was to review the engineering
plans for the reconstruction of Pratt Boulevard between Busse Road
and Elmhurst Road.
The Village Engineer summarized the proposed design indi-
cating that Pratt Boulevard would be reconstructed to provide four
(4), twelve foot wide lanes constructed of reinforced concrete. The
center drainage ditch would be enclosed with new storm sewers installed
in the parkway areas. A 19.5 foot parkway would be provided between
the proposed curb and sidewalk on both sides of the street.
The engineer continued by indicating that the existing concrete
pavement, carriage walk and grass median beginning at Busse Road and
continuing east for approximately 1,000 feet would not be removed and
replaced but would only receive rehabilitation, i.e. , damaged pavement,
curb and gutter and sidewalk would be replaced where necessary.
The project would then terminate approximately 150 feet
west of Elmhurst Road and temporarily use the existing Pratt/Elmhurst
intersection pavement. The termination of this project prior to the
Pratt/Elmhurst intersection would allow for the intersection to be
completed under the Elmhurst Road FAUS Project (late 1989) and save
the Village a considerable amount of money.
Upon further review and after ensuring that adequate funds
were available for the project, the Committee agreed to recommend to
the full Village Board that the Village Engineer be directed to advertise
the Pratt Boulevard Reconstruction Project for competitive bidding
and to proceed with the reconstruction of the roadway.

The Village Engineer then reviewed the existing and proposed
parking regulations on Nicholas Boulevard and Pratt Boulevard. Prior
to the reconstruction of Nicholas, as well as Pratt, there was insuf-
ficient space to allow on street parking. Now that Nicholas has been
reconstructed, and, similarly with Pratt, there is sufficient room
to allow on street parking on both sides of the street while providing
driving lanes in each direction.
Since most streets in the industrial district allow 2-hour
parking on weekdays between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. it
was suggested that the parking regulations on Nicholas be changed to
allow for similar regulations. Pratt Boulevard could then follow after
its reconstruction.
The Committee recommended that the Chief of Police study
the Nicholas Boulevard parking regulations for possible modification
as suggested, and, to report his findings and recommendations to the
Village Board.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting
was adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
