The Village Manager reported that the Cook County Highway Department has declined to grant permission for Bike Trail signs to be erected along Biesterfield Road west of the Alexian Brothers Medical Center. Mr. Wayne Blount of the Park District will be so advised that the Village cannot comply with their request to have the signs erected based on the foregoing.

Jenkins had called Trustee Chernick' s attention to the fact that the amendment which would prohibit parking on the west side only of Biester- field Road is worded so that it replaces the existing prohibition of no parking for a distance of 450 feet on both sides of the street. It was not the Board' s inten- tion to remove the restriction of no parking for a distance of 450 feet on the east side of Wellington Avenue.) It was moved by Trustee Spees and seconded by Trustee Vanderweel that Ordinance No. 922 be amended as follows: That Section 14.512 of the Municipal Code be amended to prohibit parking bn the west side of Wellington Avenue for a distance of 1000 feet south of its intersection with Biesterfield Road and to prohibit parking on the east side of Wellington Avenue for a distance of 450 feet south of its inter- section with Biesterfield Road.
