The meeting was called to order in the Elk Grove Municipal building by
Trustee Tosto at 7:15 p.m. The purpose of meeting was to discuss the
carriage walk situation in the industrial park and develop a policy
for replacement.
I. Carriage Walk Replacement
The Committee discussed their observations of a visual tour of the
industrial park on Saturday, May 10, 1986. They agreed that much
sidewalk in the park was deteriorated, a potential liability to
the Village existed, and a program was needed to correct the
problem. Also, it was noted that much of the damage to the sidewalk
was caused by the heavy truck traffic driving over the sidewalk.
The Committee presented and discussed numerous alternatives and
arrived at the following consensus:
1. Unanimously recommended that the driveway apron provisions of
the ordinance be revised to require wider aprons to accomodate
the large trucks.
2. Unanimously recommended development and strict enforcement of
ordinance to prohibit vehicular traffic from parking and
driving on the sidewalk.
3. Majority recommended that all deteriorated sidewalks be replaced
as opposed to removing and not replacing some of the sections.
The reasoning was that the sidewalk was originally required,
it is being used by pedestrians, and we must maintain the
continuity of the sidewalk system.
4. Majority recommended that property owners/tennants with obvious
damage due to truck traffic be asked to help pay for the
cost of the project. This would include properties which have
truck damaged sidewalk adjacent to their driveways and caused
by traffic entering and leaving their property and, also,

properties across the street from damaged sidewalk where
maneuvering of their trucks has caused the damage across
the street.
5. unanimously recommended that certain sections of walk having
high exposure to truck traffic be either set back from the
curb or replaced thicker and stronger, whichever is more
cost effective, to minimize future damage.
The Committee agreed that this to should be further discussed at a
Committee of the Whole Meeting in the near future.
Meeting adjourned about 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
