B. Bike Route #23 Demonstration Project. Brian B. asked the committee
members for their recommendations on how the west bound lanes of Linden
St. should be handled. He suggested making the west bound lane a shared
roadway with the green shared roadway sign. The committee discussed what
would be the best option for the west bound lane on Linden St.
Chairman Gigray asked for a motion for bike route # 23 to have an east
bound bike lane and west bound shared lane and request that the Street
Department review the center line of Linden St. to see if it can be moved to
the south to accommodate west bound bike traffic, still considering any width
saving for the elimination of vehicle parking on the south side.
MOTION: Nick M., SECOND: Paul M., MOTION PASSED.
C. YMCA Pathway Update. Ricardo C. gave an update on the YMCA Pathway
and said the preconstruction meeting was held last Friday and the contractor
is planning to begin work next week. The project will start at Linden St. to
Spruce St. and continue down to the YMCA but they do not have all the
required permits which may take 7 additional days to receive. The pathway
should be constructed this fall and completed by next spring.
Cindy G. asked how the pathway will go past the baseball field and the
school. Ricardo said it will parallel the Dixie drain, down to Spruce St. then it
will become a shared roadway to Illinois Ave. and then will follow the low lying
canal to the YMCA. Ricardo stated that the contractor will have 50 days once
the project starts to finish the project but because it's a partially state funded
project the months of December, January and February do not count towards
the 50 days and the work will continue in March of 2011. He also stated that
they had requested the conduits be put in place for future irrigation and
lighting. Bill B. suggested that the committee and Ricardo speak with Frank
Crookham, resident at 3515 S. Illinois Ave. regarding his concerns and the
effects the pathway will have on his property. Ricardo stated he was aware of
the resident and the section of pathway that goes by 3515 S. Illinois and
stated that this section of the pathway was re-designed with an 8-ft wide
unpaved pathway.
Chairman Gigray asked for a motion to form a task force of Bill B., Brian B.
and Ricardo C. to work with and negotiate a resolution with the resident of
3515 S. Illinois and give an update at the next meeting.
MOTION: Bill B., SECOND: Paul M., MOTION PASSED.

background of the ordinance amendment and explained how the amended
ordinance is written. Chairman Gigray had a questian regarding the

MOTION: Ann M., SECOND: Mark P., MOTION PASSED.
Nick M. stated his concern regarding route # 2. Nick stated how difficult it is to
get through and go under the freeway; also Freeport getting onto 10 is
difficult to see traffic around to the left.

ride bike route #2 and report back at the next meeting with suggestions or
alternate routes. Nick M. and Bill B. said they would like to be the task force.
