Watch for Tuesday's Trib and an update on the Special 8

  1. Watch tomorrow's (11/27) Trib West section for an article on the Special 8 and the meeting today at DuPage County's Transportation Committee meeting.

  2. As a result of today's meeting and my conversations with two County Board members after today's meeting it is clear we need to write to all County Board members, see the attached detail on next steps and their names/email addresses if you click on their names. I would ask that you be sure to write to Bill Maio, Chairman of the Forest Preserve District Land Acquisition Committee, Robert Schillerstrom, Chairman of DuPage County and Dewey Pierotti Jr, President of the DuPage Forest Preserve District first

  3. We will likely need to meet with the Land Acquisition Committee of the Forest Preserve District next week Thursday morning. When I have the detail on that meeting I will forward another email.

  4. Also try to write to Vil. Pres. Greg Matthews and Sandra Minogue, President of the Glen Ellyn Park District. We need the local authorities to support the effort even if we get the County Board/Forest Preserve District Commissioners to agree with the effort to save the Special 8. See the attached flyer for their contact information.

  5. Please pass on this news to any other trail user and supporter.

Thanks for your ongoing support.
