Center Court Schaumburg, IL 60196-1096 Dear Mr. Klinicki, Enclosed is a certified copy of a Resolution adopted by the Mayor and Board for the closing of Lockport Street for our annual Harvest Fest. Because of the State's anticipated work on Route 59 and the viaduct, our traffic planning efforts here locally must be precise and accommodate your work. Additionally, numerous vendors, businesses and artists from outside our community plan on this event each year and several thousand dollars aze expended for promotion and deposit for material and services. We would appreciate a response from your department as to the potential closing of Lockport Street. Ve urs, T. L.

Burghard, Village Administrator VILLAGE CLERK Date: May 31, 2000 ~~-•.~. Subject: Harvest Fest 2000 rim ~ r Enclosed is a request from Harvest Fest/MainStreet asking for the c osure of Lockport Street October 7 and 8th 1 bring this to your attention now because I foresee a problem. With the State working on Rt. 59 and the viaduct, we may encounter the situation where the State sees Lockport as a reliever road. We will get some initial feedback when the State reviews the permit far Plainfield Fest scheduled for July 14 to 16. If the State denies Plainfield Fest they surely will deny Harvest Fest. By certified cover letter, I asked the State to respond to the Plainfield Fest by June 15. Secondly, it was my recollection that the Board had established a policy of closing the street just twice a year. Further, it is my recollection that MainStreet requested earlier this year that the street be closed for Strawberry Fest rather than Harvest Fest. Obviously, the Village Board is free to decide when and for whom the road will be closed. Street closings are great for the community, its spirit and most of the local businesses. In the future, when 143rd Street and the viaduct are completed, Lockport becomes a local road and we gain greater flexibility and control. This does allow us to keep focus on our downtown and create a real community identity. On the other hand, fests do cost the taxpayer, and the community should know that it subsidizes, in fact, these community events. For Plainfield the Park District reimburses us some $2,000.00 and pays for extra officers to supervise the beer booth, etc. We get no reimbursement from MainStreet. Our estimated cast for the expense of Strawberry Fest is $3,500 approximate. cc: Chief Bennett Allen Persons 530 W.
