P~ospect, Illinois~ in pa~ticula~ March 10, 196~ usse Street between Main Street and Emerson Street and Emerson Streets Street between Busse Street and C~u~ral Road. Said citizens are cognizan~ tha~ said plans are against the public interes~ for the following reasons: 1. Cutting down 30 trees in the hea~ of the Village can only contribute to the spread of blight and to enlarging the sea of asphalt threatening to engulf us. 2. The Gross Traffic Survey makes no recommendation to widen either s~reet, and in fact does not even menKion ~he block of ~me~son S=ree~ in question. It does make many other practical suggestions for relieving the pressure in %his locality that up to this ~ime have not even been tried. 3. Expenditure of $36,000 to relieve a %-~affic situation that exists according To the Gross Survey for but 3-1/2 hours ps, week is an impruden~ expenditure of motor fuel tax funds which could be spent ~o better advantage in o~her much more critical areas. Discussion followed~ interested members in the audience adding their re, hal objections to this p~oposed improvement. T~ustee Bruhl, seconded by Tmustee Bergen, moved that this pro- posed widening and paving be deleted from the MFT pro,am for this year, to be considered at a later time.
