WHEREAS , Illinois Route 53 (FAP 432) has been consistently
designated as a major carrier of motor vehicle traffic by
Federal , State, Regional and local planning agencies , and,
WHEREAS , Present traffic volume demand is great enough
on existing Route 53 , Dundee Road (Route 68) , and Rand Road
(Route 12) to justify a northerly extension of Route 53 , and
WHEREAS, these heavily traveled roads impose an undue
hardship on the residents of Buffalo Grove and our neighboring
communities , and
WHEREAS, the extension of Route 53 will improve the costs
and convenience of transportation by improving overall access-
ibility and mobility for area residents, reduce the impact on
the local transportation network, and provide a projected
economic return through the reduction in time spent traveling,
cost of vehicle operation , and reduced cost of accidents , and
WHEREAS , Federal and State agencies have an opportunity to
appropriate funds to extend Route 53 , providing an efficient and
cost effective route for a substantial number of people on a
regional basis , and
WHEREAS , the President and Board of Trustees of the Village
of Buffalo Grove have continually supported the extension of
Route 53 .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO
