NEW BUSINESS
Resolution #005-2019 - Resolution as to the Public Works and Safety Committee
Recommendation for the Hillendale Drive Reconstruction Project. 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. Only one baseball diamond remains.
Resolution #005-2019 adopted 5 in favor and Alderpersons Wolfe and
Borgman voting no.
