Public works to inspect blockages on Long Run Creek; Parker Road, Kikapoo crossings prioritized
Summary
Public works staff reported planned property-access inspections to document and evaluate blockages on Long Run Creek identified by residents. Staff named Parker Road and Kikapoo crossings as priority structures and will coordinate with property owners to photograph and measure obstructions.
Mr. Wescott, speaking for village public works, reported May 28 that staff reached out to residents after citizen reports of blockages in Long Run Creek and will conduct on-site inspections with Tom Summers to photograph, measure and evaluate identified obstructions.
Wescott said several locations are farther into the creek than initial photos suggested and that Parker Road over Long Run Creek and the Kikapoo crossing are priority structures because debris or blockages there could dam up and cause localized flooding. He asked staff to contact property owners for access where necessary so crews can gather clearer photos and measurements.
Trustees thanked Wescott for frequent updates and asked to be invited on some site visits; Wescott welcomed trustee participation. He and staff noted the Parker Road location lies downstream of a planned bridge project, which remains years away from construction, so clearing and localized maintenance should proceed now to reduce near-term flood risk.
Next steps: public works will coordinate access with residents, document obstruction locations and recommend cleanup or repair work; trustees requested continued updates via email.
