the construction of the extension of the Illinois Route 53 expressway from
Dundee Road to Lake-Cook Road within the next few years; and,

expressway facility with a high degree of safety,ease of movement and
environmental protection features; and ,
WHEREAS, a "Half-Clover Leaf" configuration with grade separation
for the proposed intersection of.Lake-Cook Road would provide many such
benefits over a "Half Diamond" type intersection including improved safety
through the elimination of potential cross traffic conflicts, reduction
of travel delays and traffic congestion resultant from half diamond
signalization, reductions in local noise levels due to signalized intersection
elimination and grade elevation of the expressway as it approaches the
intersection; and,

will reduce future cost and disruption which would otherwise accompany further
extensions north of Lake-Cook Road;

construction of a "Half-Clover Leaf" with grade
