The Will County Public Works & Transportation Committee convened on July 1, 2025, to discuss several pressing issues affecting local infrastructure and community needs. A significant point raised during the meeting was the importance of gathering public input through a survey to better understand constituents' preferences regarding ongoing projects.

One resident, Miss Slapika, emphasized the need for transparency in the decision-making process, particularly concerning the proposed widening of a local road. She questioned who truly benefits from such projects, suggesting that the interests of residents may not be adequately represented. Her comments highlighted a broader concern about accountability and the allocation of resources in community development.

Scott Perry, another attendee, also contributed to the discussion, although his specific remarks were not detailed in the transcript. The meeting underscored the committee's commitment to engaging with the community and ensuring that infrastructure projects align with the needs and desires of local residents.

As the committee moves forward, the call for a survey indicates a proactive approach to involving constituents in the planning process, aiming to foster a more inclusive dialogue about future developments in Will County.
