Residents of Fuller Road expressed significant concerns regarding recent flooding issues during a government meeting, highlighting the impact of construction by the tollway on their neighborhood. John Bloomfield, a long-time resident, detailed how flooding had not been a problem until June 2021, when heavy rains coincided with construction activities. He noted that even after a storm in July, water remained stagnant for hours, indicating a potential permanent change in drainage conditions.

Bloomfield, along with other residents, requested three specific actions to aid in an ongoing study by the engineering firm HR Green. They asked to be notified of site visits, to establish a repository for photos documenting flooding, and to receive weekly public updates on the study's progress. The village officials acknowledged the importance of these requests, emphasizing their commitment to addressing flooding as a primary responsibility.

The officials assured residents that a consultant would be hired to assess the situation, with the goal of developing a solution that could be included in future budgets. They recognized the urgency of the matter, especially given the severe flooding experienced by residents, and expressed a willingness to collaborate with the tollway engineers to mitigate the issue.

The meeting underscored the community's proactive stance in seeking transparency and involvement in the decision-making process regarding flood management, as officials reiterated their dedication to resolving the flooding challenges faced by the neighborhood.
