The Village Roads & Bridges Committee meets this morning at 11 AM to review bids received for the 2023 Roads Program. A copy of the agenda can be viewed here.
Those planning to attend today should know the last three R&BC meetings have needlessly lasted an average of over an hour and a half due primarily to the lack of preparation and constant interruptions by the current Committee Chair.
A Special Roads & Bridges Committee meeting scheduled for 1:15 PM today has been cancelled (again). A copy of the agenda to have been covered can be found here.
The next regularly scheduled committee meeting is March 16th. The last time the committee met was November 8th, 2002.
No, that’s not a typo. It’s not a practical joke either.
Roads & Bridges Chair Laura Ekstrom chose the absolute busiest day of the year at Village Hall to have her own special Roads & Bridges meeting consisting of one (1) agenda item today. And, her special meeting is scheduled at 3 PM, a time when many people vote since they leave their workplaces early.
Turnout for early voting this year has been brisk. The parking lots have frequently been seen nearly full, and yesterday lines were forming to vote, thus increasing frustrations.
Common sense would dictate alternative dates be chosen by Ekstrom, or short of that, a Zoom meeting be scheduled if there was no alternative. Clearly, this escaped her.
A copy of her agenda can be viewed here, and if you find yourselves trying to vote this afternoon but unable to park, we know who you have to thank.
Today’s regular monthly meeting of the Roads & Bridges Committee has been cancelled. Ordinarily, we would not report this except the Committee has only managed to meet three (3) times in seven (7) months this year, and their last meeting was back in April.
Since the less than stellar snow plowing services Village residents endured this past Winter season still weighs on their minds, one can only hope plans are already underway to assure improved services in 2022-2023. After all, the next Committee meeting isn’t until August 11th (tick, tick, tick…).
The Roads & Bridges Committee will meet today at 4:00 PM. A copy of their agenda can be viewed here.
Today’s topic of discussion is a proposal to, “Apply CRF to approximately 4,000 SY of selected asphalt pavement.” Proposed prices are included in the agenda.
Unfortunately, audio recordings from the special March 22 Roads & Bridges meeting are unavailable for review. Eight companies bid for the 2022 roads program at that meeting, and Orange Crush, LLC was awarded the contract.
The 2021-2022 Winter Season will be a topic of discussion today at 4 PM at Village Hall.
The Roads & Bridges Committee will meet today at 4:00 PM. The only two topics on their agenda are:
2021-2022 Winter Season
2022 Road Program
A copy of the agenda can be viewed and downloaded here.
Audio recordings from some previous R&B meetings are now available for review. The December 13th, 2021, recording can be heard here, and the recording from the October 14th meeting where a resident first voiced concerns over switching snow plow services can be heard here.
Residents who would like to publicly comment on the new snow plowing contractor’s performance this year or other items can do so at the meeting, or they email the committee chair at lekstrom@barringtonhills-il.gov prior to the meeting.
The Roads & Bridges Committee meets on Thursday August 24th at 4:00 PM. The link for the Agenda and Meeting e-Packet can be found here. The agenda includes an update on Longmeadow Parkway construction, and continued review of engineering firms.
