The article that he read mentioned that Metra was working with several communities on these plans but did not mention the Village of Mount Prospect. He inquired what discussions the Village has had to date. Mr. Strahl stated that he was unaware of any specific expansion plans for the Prospect Heights station but that he would investigate and get back to Mr. Corman. Mr. Corman asked that if there were any plans that he would like to review them and ensure that proper screening was provided for the adjacent neighbors. Lee Williams, 70 N.

There was general discussion regarding the pros and cons ofleaving the lights on, especially for certain special events. Ms. Tortorello also inquired about the black plastic that was recently installed around the new streetscape landscaping.
