After <br />they receive the request., unless they find,some great fault with it they <br />approve it and put it in the file. <br />Mayor Carmen said he will_be talking to.:Chief Stevens on Wednesday about <br />this.

Mr. Iafelice said that.neighbors ..and <br />people who live.,in. the.Village realize it's a bike path but half the <br />strangers that drive down there think it's.a road.

The <br />topic may be in the Safety and Service.Committee or the Finance Committee. <br />He said we are looking at cost_and structure;? what the, appropriate -barrier <br />should be between the guardrail, the bike path, and the road.
