Z13A-1-97 We are requesting, if it is possible to differ our fiml meeting with the Board of Trustees until the May 20th, 1997 meetxn As all of you know, I just gave birth a few weeks ago on March 17, 1997 (St. Patrick's Day) to a healthy gixl we named Teesha Marie_ "With this being ray gird cUil, I thought everything would be easy with.the delivery. Unfortunately I was very wrong. I had to be inducrd, thin. I had a ;horrible allergic reaction to the epidermal (used to numb 1kom the waist down). I have si nre been raving horrible headaches caused from my reaciion. I am still under my doctors ogre as a precautionary measure due to the complicatiors I had. We apologize for this inconv mnience. To say the least, I have not ;tad a n omcat to work. with the village or put any time r!Ito an alternative for this garage proposal. And of course I've beezz busy caring for our pint:.int daughter. Your kindness in granting our recast will be very much apprecaated. This will give us sufficient time to work on this pcojwt. Crraciorwsly, Rosette Marturana-3(kmson & Brett S.

ProsPoct Dafo: 4/11i97 Tim*: 14:22:19 Pago 2 of 2 Betsy Busse 1007 North Greenfield TAne Mount Prospect. IL 60056-1333 847-577-8057 April 11, 1997 Tc whom it may concern, I read about your recent meeting over the issue of closing Isabella at Rand Road. I also heard the village board meeting on this issue earlier ir. the year. I just wanted to share some of my thoughts on this matter I live in the northeast portion of town bound by Kensington, Wheeling, Euclid and Wolf. My children attend St. Paul Lutheran School at 18 S. School Street, as do a number of children in this section of town. Three times a day I make a round trip over there. After hearing how much residents are bothered by cars using the Isabella/Owen shortcut,. I made a conscious decision to go the "long way'taking Rand to MP Rd, then Central west. I was astonished to realize that almost every trip ! make, I arrive at the intersection of Cwen and Central BEFORE the cars which were ahead of and next to me at the light at Rard and Business Center. In other words, going the long way takes at least the same or less time than cutting through the residential streets. ! lived in Bethesda, MD before moving to Mt. Prospect and we had :he same type of situation with commuters cutting through to get to the new Metro station. Consequently, "Do Not Enter" signs with time restrictions were erected. In some cases, these had to be adjusted with further traffic study. All signs made an exception for busses so as not to disrupt the school bus schedules, Predictably, drivers tested this for all it was worth but the local police were excellent in enforcing this. My only reservation about charging to Do Not Enter during certain hours only would be that we may not have the manpower to enforce it. Again, my experience over by St. Paul makes me conclude that it may be better to make it a full-time Do Not Enter except for busses and emer,ency vehicles. I wait for my kids every weekday on Busse Avenue between Elm and School. There are similar restrictions making Busse one way at the beginning and end of school. Yet every day, countless cars either breeze through or slow to read the sign and go through anyway. Yesterday a village park district truck did it. When the newer signs first went up, people all stopped and made a right or left turn onto Elm. Now they fly through, even when the police officers are sitting there in their cars before the end of their shift at 2:45. As soon as people figure out that there are no consequences then they will continue to do what they avant. If you ran enforce It, it will work. I support the effort to direct traffic down Rand to Central if thcse residents wart it. People up here will complain, but it has no impact on those going downtown. It would ony presenter hardship to the residents of the "Isabella" neighborhood :f they are trying to get home from Rand —then they too will have to go byway of Certral or 83. If they are willing to take this tradeoff then yo_I should give it a tria, rL'r. Thanks for your consideration of my input. Betsy Busse cc: trustees, safety commission
