Town Hall Meeting::
Mayor Tamburino opened the Town Hall section of the meeting.
Roger Romanelli, 4406 Madison, asked if Village was pursuing the four arm crossing gates for the Wolf Road and Oak Ridge railroad crossings along with the median for the crossing by the high school? He stated that adding two more gate arms would be the quickest and more affordable way to address this issue.
Mr. Romanelli also asked about Warren and Forest Avenues stating that there are speeding cars, old signage, old stop signs and that Warren Avenue needs improvements. He also asked about a park at Warren and Granville Avenues and a traffic signal at Forest Avenue and Butterfield Road. He would like to meet and talk about Forest Avenue improvements.
Mr. Romanelli also requested that the Village have a zero tolerance on loud fireworks on the 4th of July.
As there were no further comments from the floor, Mayor Tamburino entertained a motion to close the Town Hall Meeting.
So moved by Trustee Kramer, seconded by Trustee Farries. All voting aye, motion carried.
Mayor Tamburino addressed Mr. Romanelli's questions. The Village of Hillside will be sending out a robocall reminding residents that the Ordinance on fireworks will be enforced for the 4th of July. This will also be noted on our website and Facebook page. Mayor Tamburino reminded all that if you hear something call the Police desk and this will be checked out.
Mayor Tamburino asked Engineer Peters to respond to the railroad Quiet zone. Engineer Peters reported a response from the FRA is anticipated within the next few days from the revised Notice of Intent. We are looking for the absolute minimum and most affordable plan for the taxpayers. If the improvements the FRA require, cost more than anticipated, we can then ask for the four gate system, which is significantly more expensive.
Mayor Tamburino reported that it looks like the funding has been pulled for the Butterfield Road project. The Prairie Path will stay. We have not started talks with IDOT regarding a traffic signal at Forest Avenue and Butterfield Road. As far as the signage, this can be handled through Public Works. Director Pisano reported that the signs are compliant for size and intensity. Stop signs were replaced from twenty-four to thirty inches. Stop bars have been re-striped. There is one stop sign still to be replaced.
Mr. Romanelli asked for clarification on the four arm gate crossing. Engineer Peters reported we are not pursuing that option right now. Mr. Romanelli said this is most affordable solution and asked why is it not being pursued. Mayor Tamburino reported we have to wait and see what the FRA says. He also said we may not have submitted the proposal that Mr. Romanelli asked for but we submitted what we have to. Mr. Romanelli had more questions on four gate system. Director Pisano reported the four arm gates is the most expensive because upgrades need to be made at the current crossings. We are looking to reduce costs, and will wait to hear from the FRA. We can then work our way through conversation.
