SPEAKERS & COMMUNICATIONS • Joanne Ryan- 211 Porterville Rd- She has concerns over the safety on the Pine Street Extension. She said that there are no sidewalks and that the traffic has increased due to the collections on Saturday at the DPW. She would like white lines on the road to clearly show where the side of the road is to walk on safely. • Jerry Thompson- 162 Pine St- He would like the Village to support a resolution that the Town of Aurora has submitted to the county to lower the speed between Girdle and Pine to 30mph. He supports getting a striped crosswalk put in on Pine. • Michelle Parrish- 854 Lawrence- She asked the Village Board why it is difficult to get a crosswalk on Pine. Trustee Kamp said that it gives people a false sense of security and that other measures need to be taken as well. Mrs. Parrish asked if the Village owns any part of Pine Street; Trustee Kamp responded no. She asked if the Village would be willing to take over Pine from the county. Trustee Kamp and Trustee Cameron said that it could be looked into, but that cost was a large factor. • Don Vidler- 694 Main St- He said that he would not want to make the Friday night Carolcade a new precedent.
