VISITOR’S COMMENTS:
Mr. Sherman presented a letter he wrote for the Board. In his letter, he described the safety issues he is having along 65th Street. He resides on the Chicago side right along 65th Street. He has seen the streetlights out since August and is very frustrated at the lack of communication between the Public Works department. He has communicated his concern with the Public Works Department and the Village Hall. He would like to see a resolution as soon as possible as he is concerned for his safety because there have been a few robberies next to his home. The Village responded that there were some issues with supply and demand regarding the light poles. However, the village will swiftly handle the issue as soon delivery is met with the light poles.
