Mr. Bowers reported he talked to the Chairman of the Association and if given a date, they will clear the parking spaces on Boxwood for sweeping. Chief Dahlberg will get Mr. Strahl the contact information. Carol Tortorello, S. Elmhurst Avenue Carol Tortorello commented on the great 4th of JUly parade and fireworks. She asked if they would consider throwing something other than candy during the parade. There was a general discussion on this topic. Gerald "Skip" Farley, North Emerson Street Mr. Farley asked if there was anything new on prohibiting right turns at the intersection of south east bound Rand at Mount Prospect Road. Chief Dahlberg said the timing on the signals was just recently further adjusted to try to alleviate traffic blocking Central Road. I.D.O.T. (Illinois Department of Transportation) continues to assert that prohibiting right hand turns from south east bound Rand Road onto south bound Mount Prospect Road, even during peak volume periods is not necessary. Sergeant Eterno, the Traffic Unit Supervisor, will continue working with I.D.O.T. to encourage a prohibition of right hand turns from south east bound Rand Road at Mount Prospect Road. Jeff Copland, North Elm Street Mr. Copland's main concern was Randhurst Mall and preserving what is there. He used the loss of Twin Lakes Miniature Golf as an example. Mr. Copland does not like the idea of Randhurst being an outdoor mall and is concerned with overbuilding like other towns. There was a general discussion regarding the redevelopment of Randhurst Mall. Thomas Tezky, North School St. Mr. Tezky also expressed his concern regarding available public transportation for Randhurst Mall. At 10:58 a.m., the meeting was adjourned.
