President Hartstein pointed out that voters in Lake County will have another very important question on the

question that will read: Shall the State of Illinois construct the extension of Illinois Route 53 from Lake Cook
Road northerly to the existing Illinois Route 120. President Hartstein noted that this is an opportunity for voters
in Lake County to be able to express their thoughts on the extension or Illinois Route 53. Trustee Braiman added
that one of the reasons for this advisory referendum is that the State of Illinois has inquired as to whether or not
there is a consensus either way as to the Route 53 extension.
