County Highway Q Update The Village staff has been working to finalize the CTH Q plans for bidding. As part of the project, staff has been planning for a signalized intersection at CTH Q and Waterwheel Drive. Recently there have been other alternatives discussed because of access concerns. Village staff has discussed alternatives with the developer and First Presbyterian church such as a secondary frontage road or a roundabout at the Waterwheel intersection. The developer made a presentation to the committee regarding the importance of the signalized intersection because of potential harm to proposed Public Works Committee Minutes Page 1 of 2  commercial uses on the east side of CTH Q with a roundabout alternative. The developer offered to pay for the secondary service road to the intersection of Peaceful Valley Parkway and CTH Q. The committee expressed timing concerns regarding a roundabout alternative that could jeopardize the completion of the roadway in 2016. Staff indicated the roundabout alternative would make completing the project this year more challenging and require additional right-of-way. Motion Wallace, second Endres, to direct staff to pursue the signalized intersection and meet with the church to present the options of either the right-in/right-out with a dedicated left turn lane, or removal of existing access and developer installation of access road to intersection of Peaceful Valley Parkway and CTH Q. Motion carried unanimously. Emerald Ash Borer Update Staff stated that last years efforts were well received in the Southbridge neighborhood. There were a high number of residents that chose to treat their trees. This year the plan is to do the Savannah Village neighborhood.
