Arnold: what about putting sidewalks in on Highland Ave.? Goldsmith: that is unincorporated. Also, would be very difficult to take care of. Kaforski: we have talked about this before with this committee. It is not feasible. Arnold: asked about pavement markings. For example - at Grace & North Ave. about 40% of the tape is off. Orange pavement markings that were put down on Wilson and Main are peeling off. Whatever this product is I would like us not to use it anymore. Mahal: I second that. Dratnol: it is not the product, it is that the product needs to be properly inlaid. Kaforski: need the inlaid reflectors on Main St. Really need to take care of some of this. Goldsmith: Frank Kalisik is looking into pavement markings around town. Committee wants an update at the next meeting. Kaforski: maybe try some different products in different areas and see what works the best. Ware: when was the last time that we did the total town markings? Goldsmith: we do a small amount every year, but there is not a lot of money in the budget for this. Goldsmith: some of these may be just the life of the product - also there are weather factors. Finley Road are temporary markings. Arnold: Prairie Path Bridge over Rte. 53 and 355. There is a lot of rust dripping off of those fences there. Goldsmith: will contact DuPage County. Kaforski: when is Metra Tunnel going to be started? Dratnol: they are going out for bid soon. Goldsmith: they were told that they could not start until after Lilac Time. Arnold: thanked PW for doing a great job with the plowing from the last few storms. The rest of the committee also thanked PW.
