Report

Shermer Road reopens at bridge collapse siteTraffic will once again be able to traverse Shermer Road between West Lake Av-enue and Willow Road with the reopen-ing of the roadway underneath the new railroad viaduct.

That railroad bridge collapsed two years ago under the weight of coal-filled rail cars, which derailed when the freight train encountered overheated track that had expanded and buckled. Tragically, two Glenview residents were killed dur-ing the derailment.

A community meeting was held less than two weeks after the accident, dur-ing which Union Pacific Railroad and government officials answered questions about previous derailments at the site, overall safety of the track and other railroad bridges throughout Glenview and Northbrook, and the necessity for freight trains to sound their horns over-night as they traversed the repair site.

After the situation had been assessed, the villages of Glenview and North-brook worked with the Federal Railroad Administration, the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Illinois Department of Transportation and Union Pacific Rail-road to address a number of issues:

The extended closure of a portion of Shermer Road – While through-traffic was blocked at the site of the collapse, Glenview businesses to the north and Northbrook companies to the south re-mained open. A temporary traffic signal was installed at West Lake Avenue and

Grant to help fund Shermer bike pathGlenview and Northbrook are the joint beneficiaries of a nearly $1.07 million state grant to construct a 2-mile, off-road multi-use path on Shermer Road between West Lake Avenue and Willow Road.

Once constructed, the new segment will be a continuation of existing bike trail systems within Glenview and North-brook. It will connect to the existing Techny Trail regional system; the Cen-tennial Trail along West Lake Avenue that is being constructed this summer; the trail system along Willow Road in Northbrook; several Metra stations; The Glen Town Center; and downtown dis-

tricts; as well as to the future recognized bike trail system in Northbrook along Shermer Road.

The federal funding comes through the Illinois Transportation Enhance-ment Program. The project, for which Glenview is the lead agency, was one of 71 to share the $52.7 million allocated in April for community transportation projects in Illinois. More than 230 ap-plications were received.

The ITEP program is designed to pro-

From the Village PresidentShermer Road to help with traffic flow until a

temporary access road between Patriot Boule-vard and Shermer Road was built to shorten the detour around the area. Emergency financial assistance was also provided to the Glenview businesses north of the bridge.

A permanent replacement of the bridge – Instead of a drop-in quick-fix, an agreement was negotiated for Union Pacific to fund and build an improved 149-foot-long bridge with a 57-foot clear span, which was set in place in November 2013. The bridge incorporated many safety improvements, including state-of-the-art technology, a solid bridge deck to eliminate the possibility of falling objects, removal of a support structure in the middle of the roadway and a wider underpass to allow for future expansion of Shermer Road to three lanes and two multi-use pedestrian/bicycle paths between West Lake Avenue and Willow Road.

A fast-tracked road repair – Once the crushed rock that formed the temporary rail embank-ment was removed, inspectors found four por-tions of the storm sewers running underneath the road had been damaged. IDOT, which has jurisdiction over that section of Shermer Road, expedited its review of the repair plans, including the unexpected discovery that a natural gas line had to be lowered to allow the storm pipes to be replaced.

The Illinois Commerce Commission had mandated that Union Pacific repair the road and underground infrastructure no later than September 30, 2014. The villages of Glenview and Northbrook, however, made every effort to get the road in usable shape sooner. The earlier opening of the roadway is welcome news for residents and businesses in the area and the com-munity at large.

These days wherever I go around Glenview I see someone riding a bicycle. It’s the kind of activity that seems to have everything going for it – as a healthy, cost-effective and low-polluting way to get around town.

Unfortunately, bicycles and vehicles sometimes do not coexist safely on Village streets. That’s why it is so important that every biker wear a helmet and obey the same rules of the road as motorists, and that every driver take extra precautions to watch out for and protect bicyclists.

The Village of Glenview put a great deal of study into bicycling and walk-ing in the community, which resulted in 2007 in the Village of Glenview Bicycle and Sidewalk Master Plan (online at glenview.il.us/Documents/Bike%20and%20Sidewalk%20Master%20Plan.pdf ). In a community like Glenview where traffic congestion can be a concern, we’d like to provide non-motorized transportation facilities – like bike lanes and routes – as an alternative to automobile use as well as a form of recreation.

Village staff has endeavored to take advantage of regional, state and federal grants to fund the recommended bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the Master Plan. For example, this summer the Village is using Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) funds to construct Centen-nial Trail, a multi-use path on the south side of West Lake Avenue from Pfingsten Road to Pickwick Lane, which will make biking and walking safer for students heading to and from Glenbrook South High School. The Village recently secured additional ITEP funds for a multi-use path along Shermer Road from West Lake Avenue to Willow Road (see cover story), which is scheduled to be constructed in 2016, and ITEP funds will also help add a segment to the Techny Trail in 2015 from the Glen of North Glenview Metra station to the Northbrook bike path along Willow Road.

The Village of Glenview has also partnered with the Glenview Park District and Glenview Public Library on Bike Glenview. This initiative promotes biking by providing a number of resources, including:

z Free maps that show existing bike routes and paths, sidewalks along major arterials that can be used by bicycles and “fun” routes through neighborhoods that link 20 Glenview hubs and attractions;

z Instructional videos that provide tips on how to adjust a bike seat and properly fit a bike helmet, lists maintenance essentials, an “ABC” pre-check and an explanation of tools at the bike repair station next to Little Bear Garden in Gallery Park;

z Bike safety tips; and z Bike-related books and events to encourage and educate young bikers.

These resources and more information can be found on the Bike Glenview website at bikeglenview.org.

Summer is the ideal time to get out of the car and bike around Glenview. It’s a good way to exercise, and it’s good for the community’s health as well. Let’s all do our part to make it as safe as possible.

If you like your pet, you need to put a leash on itWe all enjoy spending time outdoors in the warm weather. So do our pets. It’s important that we all share the out of doors harmoniously. There are certain rules regarding pets that must be followed to ensure everyone’s safety and well being.

Village code requires that pets be leashed at all times when they’re off their owner’s property. They cannot run at large within the Village except at a dog park or “dog friendly” area. Whether a dog is friendly or aggressive, a leash keeps him in check and allows the public to pass undisturbed. A leashed dog is safe from traffic and unable to chase children, investi-gate garbage cans or dig up landscaping.

Not everyone is comfortable around pets. So make sure your leashed pet remains at a comfortable distance from passersby.

Sound carries inside when the windows are open. Try to keep your dog or cat from disturbing the peace with loud or con-tinuous barking or meowing.

While you’re walking your pet, bring along some plastic bags or other temporary container. Village Code requires you clean up after your pet on public ways, within public places and from another’s property.

Residents are required to obtain a license for dogs and cats. That makes it easier to identify lost or injured pets and quicker to return them. There’s no fee, and license application forms can be found online at: glenview.il.us/Pages/PetRegis-tration.aspx. The owner must have proof of rabies inocula-tion in order to register. A tag with a registration number is provided free by the Village.

Dogs and cats, when off their owner’s property, must also wear a collar and a tag with proof of rabies inoculation from Cook County.

If you’re dining in Glenview, leave the pets at home. Village Code prohibits all but support animals from entering food dispensing establishments, even if they are outdoors.

Recycle electronics; shred papersTelevisions, computers and other electronics are banned from going into Illinois landfills. So take advantage of this year’s one-day electronics recy-cling event from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 19, in the Glenview Police Department parking lot, 2500 East Lake Avenue. Acceptable items include: computers, monitors, cable receivers, computer cable, converter boxes, DVD players, fax machines, keyboards, mice, mobile telephones, MP3 players, PDAs, printers, satellite receivers, scanners, TVs, video game consoles, VHS players and zip drives.

Additionally, drop off up to six file-size boxes or shopping bags of documents for shredding. Destroying sensitive documents helps prevent identity theft.

Keep pets safe in the summerPets need protection when temperatures rise, just like their owners. Hyperthermia, or heat stroke, can occur when the pet is severely overheated. Here are some tips for caring for your pet in hot weather:

z Because animals don’t sweat like humans do, they are unable to cool themselves especially in high humidity. Dogs rely on panting to evaporate moisture from their lungs. Heat stress, heat exhaustion or heat stroke can be the result if an animal is confined to an enclosed space with poor ventilation, such as inside a car or garage.

z Avoid leaving an animal in the car while running er-rands, even for a few minutes. The interior of a car can quickly heat up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, even if parked in the shade with the window cracked.

z If confining a pet in a yard, shade is an absolute must. Provide a continuous supply of cool water in containers that cannot be tipped over.

z On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours. Hot asphalt can burn a pet’s paws. Your pet’s ears and nose, which are not protected by fur, can get sunburned.

Request a parkway tree typeResidents may request a specific type of tree to be planted on the parkway adjacent to their property if a tree has been removed or notice given that it will be removed. The parkway tree planting program helps keep Glenview green by replacing unhealthy or dead trees that are removed.

The fall planting deadline for ordering trees is Friday, August 29. Email your preference to treeplanting@glenview.il.us or call (847) 657-3030. We’ll do our best to fulfill the request. A list of trees commonly planted on Glenview parkways, and more information about the program, is available online at glenview.il.us/Pages/TreeParkwayTreePlanting.aspx. If we don’t hear from eligible residents, we’ll assume they have no preferred tree type.

Bugged by mosquitoes? Reduce the risk of bitesWarm temperatures and periods of rain are all it takes to bring out the mosquitoes. The pesky insects can develop in water that has been stagnant for five or more days. They can breed in as little as a bottle cap-sized container of water.

You can help control the mosquito population by eliminating sources of stagnant water:

z Empty water daily from garbage cans, buckets, plastic swimming pools and other containers that can hold water.

z Remove old tires and do not allow swimming pools or hot tubs to be neglected. Do not allow water to collect in pool covers.

z Empty and refill water bowls for pets daily. z Change water often in bird baths and plant saucers. z Keep gutters around your home free of debris

and in good repair. z Keep grass and shrubbery cut short. z Clean and maintain catch basins.

West Nile Virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Reduce the risk of being bitten by staying indoors

at dawn or dusk, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors and applying insect repel-lents containing DEET.

Most of Glenview is included in the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District (nasmad.com/847-446-9434). The area south of Central Road and west of Washington Road is included in the Northwest Mosquito Abatement District (nwmadil.com/847-537-2306). The area west of Pfingsten Road between Central Road and Willow Road is covered by the Cook County Department of Public Health (cookcounty-publichealth.org/708-232-4500).

Residents are asked to report standing water problems to the districts, as well as sick or dead birds. The districts test mos-quito pools as part of ongoing surveillance for both nuisance and culex mosquitoes and the presence of West Nile Virus.

For more information, contact the abatement districts or the Cook County Department of Public Health West Nile Virus hotline at (708) 633-8025.

Summer scenesResidents, wildlife and Wagner Farm’s cows enjoy Glenview’s many natural areas and open spaces during the warm summer months. Glenview is home to prairie, woodlands, wetlands, rivers and streams, shorelines and detention basins that enrich our quality of life.

Box available for worn flag disposal

A patriotic-painted collec-tion box has been installed at the corner of Glenview Road and River Drive (near the Veterans Memorial) for worn or damaged American flags. The flags will be col-lected by members of Joseph M. Sesterhenn American Legion Post 166 for proper retirement.

According to the United States Flag Code, “The Flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way.”

Road work updatesJuly/August ‘hot spots’

Watch for road construction or lane closures at these areas around Glenview in July and August:

Waukegan/Golf roads intersectionModification of the intersection continues. The work will pro-vide dual left-turn lanes on the north and south approaches to Waukegan Road; three southbound through lanes from Golf Road to just south of Overlook Drive; a southbound right-turn lane on Waukegan Road at Golf Road; and two through lanes and a right-turn lane on the northbound approach to Waukegan Road. The project is estimated to be completed by the end of the year.

West Lake Avenue/Greenwood Road intersectionWork includes widening the roadway, installing storm sewers, curb and gutter, and traffic and pedestrian signals; and an 8- to 10-foot wide bike/walking path on the south side of West Lake Avenue from Pfingsten Road to Pickwick Lane. Local traffic has access, although the roadway may be reduced to one lane with flaggers during daytime hours. Regional traffic should follow posted detour signs. The project is expected to be completed by the end of October.

Harlem Avenue at Henley StreetThe installation of new, larger storm sewers on portions of Dewes, Elm and Henley streets begins in early July and could periodically cause some traffic delays on Harlem Avenue. The storm component is expected to be completed by the end of the year, and the road resurfacing will be completed next year.

Colfax Avenue – Harlem Avenue to Shermer RoadSegments of Colfax may be closed to traffic as storm and sanitary sewer pipes are installed, followed by replacement of curbs, gutters and pavement. The project is expected to be completed in October.

Mow the lawn, whack the weedsEvery summer, the Village receives com-plaints from residents whose neighbors let weeds take over their yards or the grass grow too high.

Weeds and grass (excluding garden plants and native plantings) must not exceed eight

inches in height, under the Village Code.

Be a good neighbor and regularly mow and maintain your lawn and public parkway. Even if you aren’t currently residing on the property, its maintenance is still your responsibility.

Failure to comply with Village Code can lead to tickets, and could result in fines of between $100 and $1,000 per day, per violation.

Yard waste can be bagged and left at curbside for pickup by Groot. Each bag must have a landscape waste sticker attached, which are $3.07 each and available for purchase at Village Hall, 1225 Waukegan Road; Jewel, 2775 Pfingsten Road, 2502 Waukegan Road and 1340 Patriot Blvd.; Weiss Ace Hardware, 1560 Waukegan Road, and True Value Hardware, 3222 Glenview Road.

Arrangements can be made with Groot for a seasonal pickup subscription. Or simply “grasscycle,” and leave the clippings to dehydrate and decompose on the lawn.

Call the Community Development Department about over-grown yard or weed complaints at (847) 904-4320.

Village Board in briefThe Village Board of Trustees met June 3 and 17. Here is a summary of actions taken:

Neighborhood stabilization purpose of grant to GlenviewGlenview is the recipient of a $75,000 grant from the Illinois Housing Development Author-ity’s Abandoned Residential Property Municipal Relief Program. The Village was one of 18 com-munities and institutions in Cook County to receive the funds, and one of 53 municipalities, counties and land banks approved for the first round of funding, based on need, capacity, impact, budget, cost reasonableness and readiness to proceed.

The Abandoned Residential Property Relief Fund was created in 2010 through the Save our Neighborhoods Act. Funding

for the property is derived solely from foreclo-sure filing fees paid by lending institutions and collected by the County Clerk. Fees began to be collected in 2013.

The funds can be used to maintain weeds and grass, trim trees and bushes, install fences to

protect the public and repair or demolish abandoned prop-erty.

Glenview has identified nine properties that are eligible for improvements through this program.
