This is certainly an excellent project, however, we have one specific problem in regard to this project. Parents of school-age children, as well as those people who installed sidewalks per the village request, are now concerned with the situation at the bridge on Highway 83 over Weller Creek. There are now sidewalks all the way from the residences of Sunset Park to the schools, with the exception of the approaches to the bridge. On the West side, there are not any sidewalks on either the North or South approaches and on the East side, no sidewalk at the North approach. During'rainy and inclement weather, it now f'orces the children to wade through the mud or walk on the highway. With the increasing number of children using this approach to the schools, it is getting extremely dangerous and highly conducive for an accident to happen. In view of the above, we would like to request that this situation be looked into with the thought in mind that sidewalks be installed before the schools reopen. f'!'~!:~ h~ '" w c:: A copy of this letter is being forwarded to Mr. Payne of the Park District, as it is understood that a portion of the land in question has been taken over by the Park Board.
