Mill Creek Homeowners.
Mr. Ted Moller represented the group and presented a petition,
bearing 263 signatures, requesting the Board to vacate the end
portion of Old Post Road and Carriageway Drive. He stated that
it is the feeling of the Homeowners that the traffic generated
by Frenchman 's Cove and passing through Mill Creek on the way
to Arlington Heights Road would cause excessive congestion and
wear and tear on narrow streets not designed for heavy traffic,
and would cause a safety hazard for children attending the grammar
school at Thornton and Radcliffe. He requested action now, and
also that in the future, they would like to cooperate with the
Board in planning any traffic pattern around the new Arlington
Heights and Dundee Road intersection, so that cut through traffic
through Mill Creek will be minimized.
The President stated that action had not been taken previously
because the Board was waiting to hear the recommendation of
2548

the Arlington Heights Plan Commission on road pattern in
Frenchman' s Cove.
Mr. Seaberg stated that he was in receipt of a letter from the
attorney for the developer of Frenchman's Cove stating that Old
Post Road is a public thoroughfare and should not be barricaded.
Mr. Raysa stated that these streets could be marked "no trucks "
or that they could be vacated by ordinance.
Trustee Mahoney moved the Board direct the attorney to prepare
an ordinance vacating Old Post Road and Carriageway Drive at
the points at which they would currently give access to Mill
Creek. Trustee Rathjen seconded the motion. Trustee Osmon
requested the record to show that more than adequate time has
been provided for Arlington Heights to rectify this situation
and no effort has been made.
President Armstrong requested the streets be barricaded and
patrolled to make sure they are not being used by construction
trucks. He further stated that he would contact Arlington
Heights regarding this matter. A roll call vote found the
following :
AYES : Trustees Fabish, Shirley, Osmon, Rathjen, Mahoney
and Driscoll
NAYES : None
The motion carried.
