A Resident stepped up to the microphone to state that she feels there needs to be a stop sign at the corner of Lakeview and Rollins. This traffic is fast and dangerous.
New Business:
Council Communications: Council Member Komnick it’s your turn to go first.
Komnick- Thanks the Girl Scouts for their amazing dedication signs at Francis Park. Also needs to make sure that the trash issue at Knox Apartments are addressed. He has received some complaints. Council Member Komnick has received some positive messages from residents in favor of the text message alert system. Komnick stated we really need to look into bike poaths for the safety of riders. He himself was almost hit the other day.
Faber- Just a friendly reminder that kids are out and playing in the leaves. Keep watch for children at play.
Colomer- Stated he has seen a race track at E Garfield and E College. What can we do to slow down that traffic. Wanted to say he liked the streets that have been painted. Definetly notices a difference. Comcast was out and do we know why?
Yaklich- Seconded the concerns of Knox Apartments and their trash issue. Likes the idea of discussion of bike paths. Asked the Council Members to check out their IML magazine to get useful information.
Mayor Moore- Noted a postcard that he received from a resiedent that had no name for him to respond directly too. But their information was incorrect and the City did not pay for the fencing at Windmont, the Park District did. Concerned about the Cerno’s steps? Can we make them safer?
