The State of Illinois recognizes a class of small highly energy efficient four-wheeled vehicles called "Neighborhood Vehicles". However, the state also requires that the local municipality on whose roads the Neighborhood Vehicles will be driven upon must authorize its use by ordinance or resolution following a study to determine that, "the public safety will not be jeopardized". I am here this evening simply to ask that ( village, city, town) consider initiating such a study. This request arose essentially out of various "coffee house conversations" between several people with respect to the feasibility of a solar powered neighborhood vehicle. We have named this initiative the "Soular" initiative because we feel that such a vehicle is not only good for the pocket book and environment, but is also good for the soul. We have already made a presentation to the Maywood Board of Trustees on 5/28 and they unanimously passed a motion to request a study by the Safety Committee. We plan to make similar request in other wst suburbs such as River Forest, Oak Park, Forest Park, Berwyn, and others.
