Here is the latest news...
Thanks to your support and many others. The Glen Ellyn Environmental Comm 
voted unanimously 7-0 to not recommend the Com Ed/DuPage Cty Trail tree 
removal plan (AKA "Vegetation Mgmt."). The Glen Ellyn Village Board is likely 
to vote on their recommendation at their next meeting on 6/24. We need 
letters to these folks too, see below.
At a separate meeting, the DuPage Cty Environmental Commission also raised 
many concerns about the plan and decided not to support the plan. They had so 
many concerns they decided to draft a letter to the County and Com Ed about 
the plan. Thanks again for your support. Please pass along the news.
The Glen Ellyn Village Board President and Trustees should hear from all 
trail supporters before 6/24 (the next possible meeting when the Board may 
vote on the plan). Send your comments and questions about the DuPage Cty/Com 
Ed "Vegetation Management (really the removal of 600 trees)" plan to be 
"tested" on both the Illinois Prairie Path and the Great Western Trail. Send 
your comments to the Village Board of Trustees and President, Village of Glen 
Ellyn, 535 Duane St, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137
Please ask neighbors, friends and co-workers (even people outside of Glen 
Ellyn) to contact them. The Village of Lombard has raised many questions 
about the trail tree removal plan. If we can get the Village of Glen Ellyn to 
do the same, we will have made great progress in our effort to get a better 
deal from Com Ed and DuPage Cty on their tree trimming/removal plans. Thanks 
for your support of our efforts!
Note both the Friends of the Great Western Trail and the Illinois Prairie 
Path have yet to receive answers from Com Ed or DuPage Cty about the plan 
submitted on 3/29 and 4/3. If you have not yet written to the DuPage Cty 
officials please do so now. Write or email the following officials with your 
concerns about their trail tree/vegetation management/removal plan:
