rm going to start by saying I’ve been through that a few times now and | think its fine. | was a little curious
at first but it works ok. More good news is that the Safe Routes Program for Charlotte Avenue in
underway. The equipment has been put in place, the poles have been moved, and the actual physical work
is starting on Monday and it will be completed by the end of October. You will see a number of changes in
the location of the sidewalk, the narrowing of the traffic pattern when you get near the school, the new
crosswalk, the speed indicators. So it’s five years in the coming and it seems to be going exceedingly well
at this point. So just wanted to bring that up.
President Wilshire
Ok, anyone else? Not seeing anyone. Ok. City Announcements? Alderman O’Brien?
Committee announcements:
Alderman O’Brien
Yes, tomorrow night there will be a meeting of Infrastructure although we don’t have any legislation on the
docket, Director Cummings has contacted me and | think this is a good opportunity if you have any
questions on some of the barriers that will be looked at in the future for Main Street, Director Cummings will
be discussing them at tomorrows meeting. That will be at 7:00 pm. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd
Yes Thursday night, Joint Special. And | put out an e-mail to everybody on Joint Special. Elm Street is
having an Open House for the parents. Three of our School Board Members of the Joint Special have
students in that school so | am trying to get the meeting moved to 8:30. If| don’t hear from anybody | am
going to assume you can make it. | would rather hear from you that you can make it or can’t make it, but
we have to change it tomorrow. Donnais going to be putting something out either that or Sharon, one of
the two, to formally change the meeting, we are just changing the time that’s all to 8:30 p.m.
