Tragedy in Peru Highlights Technology Available .....Should Peru Invest in This?

To be honest this is something I never ever thought about until this accident between an ambulance and another vehicle this past week. While talking to family, I was told that for many years Ottawa has had this type of technology and used it to get the ambulance through the main arterials of the city. And then someone told me that yes it is still in place and works.(OTTAWA)

Peru has several intersections with a great deal of traffic: Rte 6 and the intersection with Peoria and Shooting Park Rd, intersecting with Rte 251. Granted we have gone many many years safely but drivers of today seem to be involved in many more accidents and they are more distracted by various devices they are using.

Ice Hockey May Soon Arrive Across the Street From You on Plain and.or 12th St.


Have the aldermen consulted neighboring residents? Thoughts on location of proposed rink.  I was under the illusion that this would be a neighborhood skating rink for our cities residents. Evidently many of us were misled.


I happened to find myself in a conversation with a "Hockey Mom" today. She talked about most of the hockey teams prefering to use the indoor ice rinks in some of the larger cities.  Evidently the ice rink at Echo Bluff has "coolers" to maintain the ice during periods of warmer weather in the winter. This link has some answers.

May 23, 2015 Looking Back at the Change in Peru Government and Now

http://www.newstrib.com/news/local_news/peru-may-revamp-unusual-administrative-structure/article_132de426-e7cc-5527-987c-a31a7f7f412f.html



An interesting look back at how Peru has evolved into the current structure of the city.  Read  the comments made by current Administrative Employees' How many positions will one person be allowed to have?  It appears that the newly developed proposition of a combined Police Dept., might have an affect on the structure of the Peru Administration.

If the new design of police service in the Illinois Valley actually takes place, will it change the structure of Peru government? When the 2015 changes were made, maybe there should have been a required evaluation of how well it is working or not and it should have been designed to have public input as well as employee input, within a specific time frame such as 3 or 5 years.

Take a few minutes to read the news from 2015 and share your thoughts.

Peru and Oglesby OK Expenditures to Further the Combined Police Station

Supposedly this is a payment toward Legal Expeditures of the venture being floated of a combined police force for the entire Illinois Valley of La Salle, Peru, Oglesby and Spring Valley. At this point it seems that people posting to the blog have more questions than answers about the possibility of building a combined force with the prevailing opinion that the building will be located in Peru.

Will the legal team be looking into all local ordinances to see if all cities have the same rules created? On something this serious, I believe a Public Referendum needs to be held within each of the cities because if you don't have the people backing your venture, you will have problems with an area that is already losing population.
