Dear Safe Routes Project stakeholders,

Please consider attending this zoom meeting at 7 pm on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 for a project discussion.

In brief, the information provided to trustees presents a trade-off between fully funding the costs of restoring “amenities” such as hedges, fences and trees that will be impacted by sidewalk expansion (total cost about $200K) and options for reducing the scope of the project to offset this additional cost. That is, in order to fund restoration work on about 50 properties, we need to defund certain bits of the sidewalk project.

Your comments are most welcome.

The project will be workshopped again by the village board at about 7 pm on June 9 (an in-person meeting). A board vote needs to take place that night to advance the project to the next stage and stay on course for construction in 2023. Public comment is welcome at this meeting. This meeting offers another/final opportunity to voice your view for/against spending project money to restore fences and other amenities that folks have on the village right of way, and if you support this approach, which aspects of the project should be dropped to fund this restoration work.

Please take a look at the attached memo, feel free to email me with any questions or comments.

Kindly RSVP so I know who to expect, and please forward this invitation to your neighbors…

Andy Stewart, Village Administrator
