Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes
June 6, 2017
6:00 p.m.
West Conference Room, The Centre
Present: Tom Armstrong, Michele Campbell, Chris Manheim, Parker Thompson
Staff: Dave Waden (Planning/Parks & Recreation), Ron Rudd (Engineering)
Absent: Dave Zierk (Police)
Call to Order: Chair Campbell called the meeting to order at 6:08 p.m.
Approval of Minutes: Minutes of the May 2, 2017 meeting were accepted.
Bikeway Projects:
• Chicago Street Rehabilitation Project, Pavement Marking Plan: The consultants will add
pavement markings and signage at the east end of the project area to provide guidance
for “confident” cyclists to ride through the Chicago/Liberty intersection and turn
instructions to guide “less confident” cyclists onto lower trafficked routes.
• Bikeway Route 4/Sports Complex Expansion: The committee recommended that Bike
Route 4 be continued along the frontage road to the Route 20/State Street interchange,
where it can cross Route 20. This can be accomplished by widening the pavement
section along the frontage road, and by providing some type of buffer to emphasize the
separation between vehicular traffic and cyclists.
2017 Initiatives:
• The committee discussed participation at the upcoming Bike.Walk.Move: Elgin Week
events. For review and distribution.
• The draft invitation to bid on creating an Elgin bike map has been submitted to the
Purchasing Department.
• The purchase order for Elgin’s cost to update the Fox River Trail signage is in process.
• The committee discussed involvement in the July 18 Dennis Jurs Memorial Race. There
will be two smart cycling classes for kids and a booth.
