3. PETITIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Janet Gardner-
She was here in May concerning safety issues with the bike path. A lot of
the issues were addressed and she is thankful for that. There is still an
issue with the pot holes and cracks. She was hoping work could begin
soon so that she can still enjoy it this summer. She also thanked the
Village for taking care of the island. It was beautified today. There are still
daily issues with the trucks. She met with Village staff concerning this and
she gave some suggestions to help alleviate this. The road has become a
highway now. She hopes that staff will look at her suggestions and get
back with her.
Rich Strom-
We received quite a bit of rain the week of July 4th. Comcast was out in
his yard digging holes. We were never notified that they were going to be
doing this. He approached the guys who told him they were locating power
lines. As the holes were being dug they were filling up with water. He
spoke with a supervisor and informed him of this and asked them to put
this off and was told no. Also, they were digging holes 12 feet in his yard.
He called the Village and asked who oversees this project and was sent to
Public Works. He explained the situation and was told that his information
will be given to the supervisor. He then spoke to the Mayor's Office and
within a short time of that phone call he received a call from Mark from
Public Works. Mark is top notch. The Village is lucky to have him. He
stopped the guys from digging. The workers filled the holes back in after
telling Mark that they found the power. A few days later they were back
again digging holes. Mark came back again and put a stop to it. The
Village needs to have more oversight on these projects.
