Copy of Resolution 6707 from August 9, 2010 Board of Trustee Minutes
TCAT – Mayor Supron would like to write a letter to TCAT stating that the Village does not think that there
was any due diligence done before the decision was made to move bus 30 to the Northway, and both the
Village and TCAT should look for some kind of mediation. She would also like to have a traffic study
performed at The Parkway and Northway.
Trustee Crooker said that TCAT moved the bus at the Mall from in front of Tar get to the Sears entrance
because they were asked to. He finds that troubling. He keeps thinking of keeping the public safe and the
public trust.
Supt. Cross spoke about the original quote from SRF (transportation study) when the Village was going to
look at traffic control devices in 2007. There is no professional assessment that there is a safety issue at The
Parkway/Northway intersection. The scope for performing another study should be as comprehensive as
possible. Sgt. Steinmetz offered that the Village should widen the scope to E. Upland/Hanshaw Road where
it goes past CHES so the study is done on all the roads near the school. Atty. Marcus said we need to need to
know the safest outcome. The Village needs to get all of the answers.
Nancy Oltz was present at this meeting. The Mayor asked her what she thought about the Village asking
TCAT to be involved in remediation. Ms. Oltz couldn’t comment – the decision is at TCAT’s board level.
Motion by Trustee Andolina
Seconded by Trustee Crooker
Move to pass Resolution 6707 approving the funding for a traffic study at a cost not to exceed $5850
(from contingency) and authorize Supt. Cross to negotiate the scope of services and the cost.
