Acknowledges Fasol's numerous community contributions, including launching the Emergency Tele-Medicine committee, planning hundreds of community projects, and starting a coat donation program in 2003 that provided free coats to those in need.

Requests the Illinois Department of Transportation erect appropriate plaques or signs at suitable locations identifying the road as Bruce Fasol Way, consistent with state and federal regulations.

Directs that copies of the resolution be presented to Fasol's family and the Illinois Department of Transportation.
