Trustee Lawler pushes for more information on Eagle Ridge road pilot project

During the recent Committee of the Whole meeting in Orland Park, a significant discussion emerged regarding the potential implementation of a new road maintenance solution. The focus was on a product that could address the community's diverse needs while improving road conditions.

Trustee Lawler highlighted the importance of gathering more information about this proposed solution, emphasizing its potential benefits. "I see it as potentially a good product, a good solution to balance all the needs we have in our community," he stated. Lawler expressed a desire for further details on the product's background and its previous applications in other areas.

The conversation also touched on past initiatives, including a pilot program conducted seven years ago in the Mission Hills area. This program aimed to assess the effectiveness of similar road maintenance strategies. Lawler noted that while there are concerns about the presence of sand in the area, the overall potential of the new solution warrants further exploration.

As discussions continue, the village leaders are keen to evaluate the implications of this road maintenance product, with the aim of enhancing community infrastructure and addressing residents' concerns. The next steps will involve gathering additional data to inform future decisions.
