7. MILL ROAD REC PATH – Engineer Stoll presented preliminary plans for the Rec Path. A stop sign with flashing lights will be added at Old Hunter Run. There will also be a crossing at Blackhawk Meadows Park and at Kingsway. The project includes ADA accessible ramps and crosswalks with appropriate signage. The majority of the funding for the project ($240,000) will be from REBUILD IL, and the balance ($110,000) from the streets program. Engineer Stoll hopes to have the project out to bid by spring, with completion by the beginning of the school year.
8. STREETS PLAN – Slurry for the streets that were last done in 2014 and 2015 are scheduled to be done again at a cost of $120,000. Skip patching/seal coating improvements are scheduled on 4th St. (Union to Mineral), Merchant (Walnut to Chestnut) and Front St. (from Union to Chestnut) at an estimated cost of $180,000. A sign trailer, with new signs, is also on the streets plan for $20,000. With the Mill Road improvements of $110,000, the total cost for 2022 streets is $430,000. Engineer Stoll anticipates that the 2023 streets budget will consist largely of Colfax St. improvements, since we were awarded the TARP Grant recently. Alderman Hobbie motioned to recommend council approval of the 2022 Streets Plan at a cost of approximately $430,000. Motion seconded by Alderman Gerdes.
