The bridge is scheduled for comple- tion in fall 2016. The project, which will have a significant impact on a major thoroughfare in Bellwood, will be a game- changer for residents, businesses and Bellwood’s future. july 2015 This summer is proving to be a busy time full of progress and accomplish- ments in Bellwood. First, new tenants are moving into the beautiful new Senior Suites building on Randolph Street across from the Village Hall. Inter- views still are being conducted by Senior Suites personnel for other prospective tenants. I want to thank our residents for their patience during the construction of what is another impressive asset in Bellwood. We’re proud of this new addition to our landscape and excited to offer a new housing option for our seniors. On another important note, based on the efforts of the Addison Creek Restoration Commission that I managed as chairman, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) recently approved a project to build a retention pond in the village that will provide significant relief to Bellwood residents. The $100 million project, which comes at no cost to our residents, involves building a retention pond in Bellwood that will reduce flooding that too often affects many of our residents – including Message From Mayor Frank A. Pasquale me. The MWRD is in the process of acquiring a property in Bellwood that has been selected as the best location for the pond. Depending on the time it takes for the purchase, the project could begin construction within the next 12 months. While many decisions have to be made, if the MWRD moves forward with the purchase and begins construction on the pond, many residents would be removed from the current flood plain, which would mean lower insurance rates and little to no standing water to deal with after it rains. As you’ll read throughout this issue of the Update, Bellwood is on the move in major ways. We remain focused on improving life for our residents, attracting and retaining businesses of all types, and investing in our future by shoring up our infrastructure. Those are all examples of our commitment to the village slogan: Your Family Is Our Future. Have a great – and safe – summer!
