EXTENSION Northwest Municipal Conference, a resolution was passed requesting
the State to extend Route 53 at least to Lake-Cook Road. He said
efforts are being made to insure that extension of Route 53 will
regain priority over a lakeshore road. When more information is

FAUS PUBLIC Trustee Mendenhall reported on the FAUS public hearing on
HEARING/ Arlington Heights Road (Lake-Cook Road to Route 83) which was
ARLINGTON held on May 10, 1978. He said that the Lake County Highway
HEIGHTS ROAD Department had expressed concern about the trees in the median
(LAKE COUNTY) strip, but he felt that could be resolved. He said there are
two alternate construction plans, Plan A would utilize the
existing bridge across Buffalo Creek for the north bound traffic,
another bridge would be constructed for south bound, and the dam for the
retention lake would be constructed above that. One advantage of Plan A would
be that Arlington Heights Road would remain open throughout construction. Plan B
requires simultaneous construction of the dam and highway. He felt it was
questionable if coordination of the two constructions could take place; but the
cost savings with this plan would be approximately $84,000. With Plan B, it
is questionable if Arlington Heights Road could remain open.
Mr. Balling noted that the road improvement received endorsement
v from Long Grove Fire Department, Northwest Municipal Conference, Buffalo Grove
Junior Womans Club, Strathmore Grove Homeowners Association, Crossings Home-
owners Association, and the Plan Commission.
