This was corroborated by others. Comment was made that this should be reported to the Park District who is responsible for upkeep of the path. Additional comments were made by others in the audience, all of which were in favor of positive action on the bike route issue, Mr. Weibel asked for comments that the Commission members might like to make. Mr. Velasco stated that he had taken due note of the comments that had just been made, however, he did want to report on a mini survey that he had taken. In an interview he had made of 22 bicycle riders, only two used the present bike path and those two only because that was the way they were going anyway. He stated that he believed the bike paths we have in mount Prospect at the present time are valueless. To improve them, they should at least have lines marking them off. The suggestion was made that a committee be formed among the bike clubs that would make recommendations and give assistance to the staff in developing a bike route system in mount Prospect. chairman Weibel read a letter dated September 15, 1988 from Mr. Sims and addressed to the Plan Commission members concerning proposed additions to be considered -as amendments to the Comprehensive Plan regarding the future development of bicycle facilities.
