Let the county handle the bridge problems, if the money earmark is not there or lost, it IS the counties fault.

“We need (the public’s) input,” trustee Bill Grabarek said.

Well, look around, Over & Over the public’s input has been “NO”.

“No” to being held hostage for the bridge
“No” for extremely high density development.
“No” to apparently unstable developers finances.

Pronunciation: nō
a. 1. Not any; not one; none; as, yes, we have no bananas; – often used as a quantifier.
Let there be no strife . . . between me and thee.

various other issues of public safety like getting from St.Gauls to Lions park safely.

Last year our board voted down the project till the bridge was build and various other issues were taken care of by Sho-Deen. The Blackberry problem is still an ongoing problem so how on earth can this issue even be considered.

Let Kane County take the land that is required for the Anderson road overpass by eminent domain. That way Elburn tax payer will be safe and save money. Please protect out town…

Then too the infrastructure of our waste water can’t handle what Sho-Deen wants and who’s going to flip the bill…Yes you Elburn Tax Payer’s will prolly add another 10 to 20% onto your city bills.
But wait from what I understand too is that Elburn would be flipping the bill to maintain that multi-million dollar bridge if that project is anaxed .Really now please someone explain on how is that going to happen when we are having problems to maintain our broken down streets ( in some ares) and…

land that is required for the Anderson road overpass by eminent domain. That way Elburn tax payer will be safe and save money,but cost a lot more if Sho-Deen get its way. Dang Get Sho-Deen to work of finishing the South side of Kesslienger road. You know that Blackberry thing that was worked out into bankruptcy.

Now too what about all the cluster on parking issues downtown when that are just a small problem (wink)can you see any problems with 20% more cars /30% more cares in an area that you…

to build let them work with Blackberry creek that is more than 1/4 incomplete. To even consider approving more development with all the foreclosures and lack of commercial tax base is insane to go forward.

The board voted it down months ago as per the wishes of most Elburn residents who live here and pay taxes. Question now is how on earth has this been brought up again till after the bridige is built by Kane county. Anderson road/bridge isn’t an Elburn project!!

Let Kane County take the…

Question I’d like to know is how on earth was the Sho-Deen thing brought back the the table when it was voted down last year?
Well…the question a lot of folks prolly want to know is back in May of 2011 when it was standing room only were 4:1 against the huge development yet it keeps getting moved on and on to the point Shodeen is trying to make you and people believe the Anderson Bridge is hinged on approval on their money pit on the backs of Elburn tax payers. Again I say if Shodeen wants…

could we as taxpayers possibly be trusted with such an important decision? Face it, most of us are just simple people, but we are intelligent enough to know when a developer is railroading an entire village for their own purposes.

holding Elburn hostage in some way? Which leads me to another question, why are the voters of Elburn and the county not given a chance to vote on the Anderson Road bridge? I have heard that the reason the Anderson Road bridge issue will not be placed on the ballot has to do with the taxpayers not having all of the information that our village trustees do. I know that the mayor and trustees have worked long and hard on the bridge and the TOD issue, and I appreciate all of their efforts. How…

It was always my understanding under Roberts rules of order, only the members whom voted aye are allowed to re-open a tabled topic. Do they use different rules of conduct?
As far as I I know,
Mr Anderson should have never allowed it to be discussed at Haserts request.

The Anderson Road project isn’t an Elburn issue its a county issue. Sho-deen who owns the land now turned down an offer from Kane county of over 2.4 million for 70 or so acres needed for the over pass. WHY ?? Could it be…

The original vote was as follows to table Sho-deens project till after Kane County’s Anderson Road Extention/Bridge is built from last year>>

“aye” votes from trustees Dave Gualdoni, Bill Grabarek, and Jeff Walter, with trustees Ken Anderson, Ethan Hastert, and Jerry Schmidt casting “nay” votes.

Aye votes were to table the project until the following took place.
A: Shodeen rectified their financial conflict with a bank.
B: The bridge is built.

It was always my understanding under…
