COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS - CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Idle Nipper, 1216 E. Cardinal Lane, asked if the Mount Prospect Plaza Shopping Center would be required to replace the sidewalks that have been removed during the construction. Mayor Krause assured Ms. Nipper that the sidewalks would be replacad. Mr. & Mrs. Poluchowicz, 1901 Wood Lane, expressed concern on a policy of the Mount Prospect Forestry Department relative to shrubbery in the parkway. They have been requested to remove lilac bushes that are in the public right-of-way at the southeast corner of Burning Bush and Wood Lane. The staff has received complaints due to the poor visibility that these bushes create at this intersection. Mr. Poluchowicz stated that there have been no accidents and that a 4 way stop sign was taken down about 2 years ago. Mrs. Poluchowicz stated that it would cost $50.00 per bush to have them transplanted, which she felt would be a hardship. It was explained that this site-distance regulation was established for the safety of anyone using the road since shrubbery in the parkway could restrict a drivers' ability to see cross traffic. It was the consensus of the Board that the bushes must be removed and that the staff will be directed to continue to enforce the regulations governing the safety of the residents in this manner.
