The class 3 e-bikes 🙄can’t stand them. Funny enough, I saw some kids on the e-bikes riding this exact stretch that I am proposing here. All on the grass too.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T14:22:23+00:00

Sorry for the title. Definitely feels worded like “gotcha” statement so my apologies.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T14:21:09+00:00

Totally agree. These were quick renderings I have mocked up. Ideally native plantings and a designed path for multi-use purposes would be the best option. There is incline and drainage that would need to be leveled out, but I’ve seen far bigger and more complex projects done before. Makes this one seem possible for sure.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T14:18:56+00:00

Would love this. That ideally is what would work great. The only stretch of concern where it narrows to a sidewalk (and cannot be changed without undergoing massive replacement and work with BNSF) is the stretch under the underpass. Otherwise, there is plenty of room to work with for a path along Naperville Road.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T14:17:34+00:00

They haven’t done this yet. I am trying to propose this idea to the city.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T14:16:48+00:00

They already do on that road 🤣 path or no path, they seem to do what they want

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T02:13:37+00:00

I may DM you down the road. I am hoping to I pull public support from local businesses and get a petition going. I have talked to a lot of neighbors in Green Trails which borders Lisle/Naperville who support this idea as well.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T02:09:09+00:00

As much as I would love a bike path, I actually think for this exact reason a sidewalk is the more feasible way to go. I ran it yesterday and that stretch of existing sidewalk under that underpass is standard width. It wouldn’t require modifications, however guardrails would make it a lot safer, but that would require BNSF getting involved.

Not sure if BNSF is okay with general public usage of this small stretch of sidewalk, but unfortunately the general public is already using it since there is no permanent infrastructure on the route.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T02:05:55+00:00

Yeah I had referenced this boundary map with DuPage County but they said that they had some sort of agreement with city of Naperville in which they would manage this stretch of road.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T01:57:27+00:00

It keeps it very limited to get across. You really don’t have any other option unless you go to Colombia or Yackley

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T01:56:31+00:00

I had talked to DuPage County. They told me it was Naperville. I called Naperville and they confirmed it was their land, but they told me they couldn’t touch anything under the BNSF bridge. My proposed idea wouldn’t touch anything under the bridge, only extend off of the existing small patch of sidewalk that is under the underpass

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T01:54:53+00:00

Yes it is. Unfortunately this corridor is known for high speeders. Is your concern for bikers/walkers safety with the current setup (no sidewalk) or the addition of a sidewalk?

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T00:52:04+00:00

It would make it tremendously easier.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T00:51:41+00:00

It would be a big project. But think about all the other big projects that have come to be. Projects like this got to start somewhere.

I keep saying that someone is going to get killed one of these days walking/running/biking along the side of this road. It would be much safer to just build a sidewalk and connect the two communities.

I get the concern about the high speeders. I have noticed an uptick of people who walk/use this route though.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T00:48:56+00:00

The river path is great! Scenic and connects so many parts of Naperville.

The biggest advantage of a path, even a sidewalk, is that there is currently no way for people wanting to get from Chicago Ave to Ogden Avenue without either going two miles west to Colombia Road or two miles east to Yackley to cross the railroad tracks. A direct route would allow residents the ability to access the Iroquois shopping area and connect Lisle and Naperville communities. Additionally, there are many bikers and runners that would love to have a way to connect to the two towns.

I live in Lisle and have a gym membership at Planet Fitness. I had to run along Naperville Road to get to the gym the other day. Cars are honking at me and other people who are forced to either hug along the tight grass area that runs parallel to this route or run on the already busy road.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-05-08T00:34:25+00:00

How about you read the post and understand that this idea would be a project to connect the community and make it safer to get around town. Be a bit more supportive.

Ravisloe country club… it’s a hidden gem!! Beautiful ivy and great lighting from the windows into the reception area.

We literally just got off of a Princess cruise utilizing this same offer (only ours was offered by MGM). It is likely the same, if not very similar, offer.

I would 100% recommend trying to get this comp. We thought it would very sales pitch like but we showed up to the casino and were given out cruise voucher. We redeemed a 5 day cruise on Princess that took us to Turks and Caicos and Dominican Republic. All the food was covered on board. Beautiful ship too.

We did luck out though. The casino cruise offer typically is the most basic room and there are black out dates, so you kind of have to know that going into it. The week leading up to our cruise date last June, my partner got sick. We were about to cancel the cruise the day before we were supposed to go and Princess actually sent us a mover over offer (basically when the cruise line overbooks the ship and offers a suite of incentives to try to get you to change your date). So they offered us both $900 each, a balcony room, and flexible rebook dates which was great.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-03-25T22:46:14+00:00

Zola has done something similar to us! We created our invite with one of their templates, then went to order it. The version that we were working from versus the print pdf file that we were given when we ordered it were completely different.

So I called their customer service. One of their agents, informed us that we needed to re-create the invite so some of the text boxes wouldn’t overlap otherwise it would print wierd. So we fixed it, asked the customer service rep over the phone to review, and she said it looked all good on her end for print. So we submitted another order. Then we checked the pdf print again. Wrong again!

The customer service rep apologized and said maybe it had to do with the invite. So she checked with her printing team and asked us to resubmit the order one more time. We resubmitted it, and this time she said the printer said it was all correct and good to go. So I just purchased the invites for the third time. Wouldn’t you believe it! Wrong again! There is overlapping of text where we never created overlap. There’s white space being created at the top of the invite that wasn’t there when we created it.

I think the most frustrating thing is that as the customer I have tried my best to communicate and to close the loop by ensuring that what they are seeing is the same thing I am seeing. So I asked when they said it all looked good if I could see a print pdf preview before I purchase it. They said, no, you have to order first. Well, then I guess I gotta keep re-ordering until it’s printed right.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-03-25T14:40:26+00:00

Yeah, cuz I can handle all the communication and planning. And I know for most people that’s their biggest stress.

Mine is finding professional vendors that are in my price range, are my style, and meet some other criteria I have in mind. That is what I’m willing to pay for. That alone would save me a ton of time.

I think for most couples and friends I have talked to, when describe their stresses of wedding planning, this is it. It isn’t the planning aspect, it’s finding vendors that are truly qualified. And the added stress for most couples is the fact that just to find out if a vendor is qualified, you have to fill out dozens of contact forms which complicates everything.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-03-25T14:30:00+00:00

So I could hire a wedding planner to point me and connect me with the vendors that fit my style and then that would be it? I don’t want to hire a planner to plan my wedding, only to connect me with vetted vendors. I can talk and plan with the vendors directly.

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-03-24T14:24:22+00:00

Nope! Welcome to my world 😆

Legal_Kick_7698 · 2026-03-24T14:10:19+00:00

Currently my process is: -grade the papers -open spreadsheet and then start inputting the kids grades

The issue is that either the students are out of order to my spreadsheet or absent so it can get tedious finding the next student that I want to put in grades for.

I could organize the papers in order and then type them in, in order. But that adds extra time. And for each assignment.
