(DISTRICT #1) A motion was made by Arthur Kuehl, seconded by David Arnold, that this Resolution be recommended to the Board of Trustees for approval . The motion passed by an unanimous vote. 9.0 Information Only Arnold: questioning new Weight Limit signs on Grace St. just north of North Ave. and also on Grace St. going s/b. Is there a difference between a load limit sign posted on a bridge and a sign on a road? There is no bailout there. Trucks going w/b on North Ave. want to make a right hand turn onto Grace – still can’t make that turn. Asked staff to find out about these signs and bring to next meeting or e-mail group about them. Also, s/b on Grace St. at North Ave. after the North Ave. construction project there were changes made to the lane markings. Asked staff to check the lane markings and signage. Is this something that we take care of or IDOT? Kaforski: regarding crack sealing - in both budgets there is money for this project. My street was just done. What they are grinding out ends up shooting on to the parkway, sidewalks and driveway aprons. Is there some sort of guard that can be put on this machine? Also, at the s/w corner of Hickory and Lombard – sidewalk was replaced through the sidewalk program this year. There were some of the corners that were vandalized – and they look horrible. Please check them and get back to committee about status. 970045 Project Status Report 980212 Change Order Report 10.
