March 8, 1960
sidewalk on Members of Board of Trustees
iW. Lincoln Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Gentlemen:
It has recently been brought to our attention that a
group of our neighbors are planning to attend a board meeting on
March 8, 1960
his date to express their views on the planned installation of
sidewalks on the so~th side of Lincol~ Avenue between We Go and the
bridge over Weller Creek. Since it will be impossible for us to
attend this meeting we are submitting this letter to advise the
Vil~ge Board of our opinion in this matter.
We believe that the problem of sidewalks on Lincoln Avenue
should be combined with the~ proposed widening of the street (from
two %o four lanes) so that the entire problem could be settled at
one time. We are against any widening of the street but would agree
to the installation of curbs on the present two lanes. We have recently
signed a petition agreeing to the installation of sidewalks closer to
the street than the village ordinances permit. This was with the
understanding that the street would remain two lanes. However, if
the street is to be widened to four lames and %he two extra lanes
are installed on the north side of Lincoln we are against any such plans.
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Joseph
The Board assured the Joeephs that there were no plans this year for
widening Lincoln Avenue.
Trustee Casterline, seconded by Trustee Norris, moved for
adjournment, and the meeting was regularly adjourned at 9:B2 P.M.
by accl~=~tinn.
Respectfully submitted,
March 8, 1960
