Regular Council Meeting 9/20/93 Page Two Barbara Lombardo, asked if more of a problem can be anticipated once Progressive Insurance completes their structure. Lt. Jay said he feels the problem there will be mostly from the freeway west. Ivirs. Cinco said this item is on the agenda. Council will be addressing the Progressive Insurance traffic. Alma Winkle, 826 Beech Hill Road, said it is a relief to have the sewer project going. She expressed thanks to all who brought it to fruition over the years. She said she will be impacted twice by the removal of the pavement, the open-cutting and the removal of the debris from the holding tank. It is quite a bit for them to have to live with for a year and a half. (The work is to start in February 1994; the anticipated completion date is August 1995.) They are also concerned about the gate and does not believe any of the residents want a permanent gate at the end of the street. The walking bridge will be taken down. Will another be put back? Many people use the bridge. Mayor Rinker said that idea was mentioned by a contractor the other night at a meeting. That was the first time the idea of a permanent bridge was proposed. The indication from a straw poll taken from the people present was that we are certain the residents in Beech Hill would not want a permanent bridge. Mayor Rinker said we have set up a aneeting for next Monday at 7:30 p.m. in fhe Community Room. Representatives from N.E.O.R.S.D., the Contractor and the Engineer's Office will be there to answer questions. The issues brought up tonight will be discussed at that meeting. He encourages everyone to attend the meeting. We need input to make decisions as to the type of timetable and the route they want the contractor to follow. Mayor Rinker said the Village has no desire for any permanent bridge. Mrs. Cinco said she has copies of the flier that was distributed (today) to the residents of Beech Hill area if anyone would like one. A resident in the audience asked if Beech Hill will be used for both projects. Mayor Rinker said the contractor must submit a plan which must be approved by our Engineer and the Village. Patsy Mills of ABC Quilts, showed quilts the organization is making for abused children. The quilts were made by 12 girls from Center School who worked with the group all summer. They are looking for volunteers. They work every Thursday morning in the Community Room from about 9:30-11:30. They also need supplies.
