Residents raise sight‑line and drainage concerns; Kale Engineering to re‑review Highland Pathway
Summary
Village Manager Harrigan told the board that punch‑list items on the Highland Pathway have been completed but residents raised concerns about the pathway's orientation and drainage next to private driveways; Kale Engineering will evaluate modifications and may return to public works on July 13. The Kelly Johnson Foundation 5K event permit was also withdrawn.
Village Manager Harrigan updated trustees that punch‑list items from the 2025 pathway construction — including vegetative restoration and selected hardscape repairs — have been completed, but several residents expressed concern about the pathway's alignment near their driveways and the proposed drainage shown in engineering plans.
Harrigan said staff met with concerned residents and concluded that "Kale Engineering will look at potential modifications to address their 2 concerns and, if necessary, we'll be bringing those proposals back to public works on, July 13." Trustees emphasized the need to balance safety, sight lines and engineering standards; the board directed staff to pursue targeted engineering review rather than immediate change orders.
Trustees also heard that the previously approved Kelly Johnson Foundation 5K village park run was withdrawn due to coordination and timing challenges. Harrigan said staff invited the organizer to reapply in a future season.
What happens next: Kale Engineering will evaluate whether moving the pathway turn or adjusting grades/drainage can mitigate sight‑line conflicts. Any proposed design changes and associated cost implications will be returned to public works for further discussion and potential action on or after July 13.
