Residents still uninterested in pond naturalization, maintain desire for dredging.
Much like during the June 19 village council meeting, little common ground was found between village officials and residents concerning what to do with Valley View pond during Tuesday night's council meeting. The pond, located in the Valley View Estates subdivision west of Main and north of 75th, suffers from poor water conditions, odors, algae blooms and more as a result from sediment buildup, waterfowl presence and a lack of substantial vegetation. During the June 19 council meeting during a “workshop” session on the subject, the two primary options presented were to either dredge the pond at a village-estimated cost of nearly $1 million or “naturalize” the pond, converting it to a sustainable marshland for nearly half the estimated …

In addition to street reconstruction, village staff and council members also discussed changes to the village's fire code and entertained a special use permit request from Hertz Car Rental.
Permeable pavers are coming to Grove Street from Main to Carpenter. The village council voted Tuesday night to spend $970,000 on a reconstruction project that will help deal with stormwater runoff and replicate the brick paving the street once had. “Staff is very proud of this project,” Director of Public Works Nan Newlon said. Traditional pavement is virtually impervious (water can’t permeate it) and it can increase flooding while polluting streams and rivers, she said. Permeable pavers reduce water run-off because the water seeps between the paver gaps. While the initial cost of permeable pavers is more expensive than traditional methods of road construction, overall it has a good life cycle cost, Newlon said. Commissioner Sean Durkin …

It isn't a good reflection though on any company when the Leaders blame an error on anyone but themselves. Just bad decorum that may not be the rules of engagement any longer. Which means I have now disclosed my age ;) more ›

D99 will meet tonight for its regular board meeting at 7 p.m. at the Administrative Service Center. Here are a few highlights from tonight's proposed agenda: Recommendations and Reports of the Superintendent • North High Waste Water Piping Project. From the memo: The waste water systems serving 10 washrooms in the 1928 and 1957 sections of the campus have been identified by building administration as being a high priority for replacement for several years. It was our intention, through the capital replacement program, to address these systems in the summer of 2013-14. Due to the recent, more intensive study of these systems we now believe they could possibly fail in the next fiscal year causing a potential shut down of several bathrooms at…

Then the town plans on getting rid of most of our water and doing plant lands. Which is basically a forest preserve! The town originally said they were going to do a wetland restoration this would reduce sediment. How is getting rid of practically all of our water … more ›
