What's New at
Lockport City Council
First Ward Alderman
John Collier and I are working with the mayor and
the rest of the City Council to bring responsible
commercial and residential growth to our City.
The
News/Issues page on this website will keep you up to
date on some of these developments, so please take a
moment to visit that page by clicking on
"News/Issues" tab on the left side of this webpage.
Many
residents have asked about the status of road
improvements in the First Ward, and Alderman Collier
and I are working on these as well. The City
Engineer is using cutting edge technology to analyze
our streets and to create a list that is prioritized
by need. The Infrastructure and Capital Improvement
Committee will also be meeting to expedite the
improvements that are needed.
During the June 27, 2007 City Council meeting,
Alderman Collier and I dedicated funds for road
improvements on 151st Street and are also
investigating ways to improve Gougar Road from 151st
Street to Lemont Road.
Alderman Collier and I have also recommended that
the Police Department develop an aggressive
overweight truck enforcement program to deter
companies from sending their overweight trucks on
Lockport roads that are not built for such use.
Some
of the permanent road improvements will be coming
after the I-355 extension is completed, because we
need to coordinate these improvements with the
Illinois Department of Transportation.
Don't forget to send me an email with your
suggestions for City improvements, whether they be
street-related or otherwise!
Thank you for your continued support and please do
not hesitate to call or email me with your ideas on
how I can better serve you and your families!
