President Zettek stated that a revision to the sprinkling ordinance is on the agenda for consideration later in this meeting. A question was raised by a member of the audience concerning the posting of one-way signs on Touhy Avenue and the possible elimination of the one-way restriction. Board members pointed out the traffic safety considerations which went into the decision to have this made a one-way street. Mr. Charles Hod)mair, 100 Landmeier Road, reported that many heavy trucks are using Landmeier Road as a thoroughfare, and they appear to be over the 12 ton weight limit. Deputy Chief Kohnke stated that Landmeier Road is a County road and County Highway representatives have refused to allow the Village to post warning signs indicating the weight limit on Landmeier Road. As a result, any citations issued to offenders by the Police Department are dismissed in Court because the proper notice of the weight restrictions are not posted to alert drivers. President Zettek directed the Village Manager to write to the County Highway representatives and let them know of the Village' s concern for the safety of school children who cross Landmeier Road, concern over the damage to the street that the heavy trucks cause, and the added air pollution to a residential area. The County is to be notified that unless advised to the contrary by Monday, May 16th, the Village will post this road and 0akton Road warning drivers of the weight limitations.
