Alderperson Engelhardt moved to approve. Alderperson Madden seconded. Director Kroeger provided background information. The Public Works and Safety Committee recommended a rural cross section design be used for the final design of Hillendale Drive. Curb and gutter will be used in select locations. In addition, the Committee determined that the recreation trail loop can be completed as originally planned as part of the distant priority trail along Racine Avenue; the Committee removed the trail from the project. Alderpersons Borgman and Wolfe oppose removal of the trail. Alderperson Borgman believes the school and park will benefit from it. Alderperson Engelhardt disagrees. The driving force for the recreation trail loop was to provide a connection to the Badertscher Preserve. Installation of the trail is at the Council’s discretion. There is a complete lack of support from the residents in the area. Alderperson Kubacki stated trails have to be looked at on an individual basis. There is no need for this trail. Alderperson Madden agreed. Alderperson Engelhardt moved to allow a Mill Valley School employee in the audience to speak. Alderperson Kapusta seconded; motion carried. Ms. Melanie Sinner stated she lives at W194 S6961 Hillendale Drive. She has worked at Mill Valley for 15 years. The children are not allowed to walk or ride a bike to school.
