A RESOLUTION ADDRESSED TO THE
COUNTY POARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF COOK COUNTY
CONCERNING CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS ALONG AND
UPON ARLINGTON HEIGHTS ROAD IN THE VICINITY
OF ELK GROVE VILLAGE
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees understand that the County
of Cook intends to improve Arlington Heights Road into a four lane road
to a point south of Higgins Road, and
WHEREAS, there is a large shopping center located on the southeast
corner of Higgins and Arlington Heights Roads in the Village of Elk
Grove Village, which shopping center emanates traffic both upon Arlington
Heights Road and Higgins Road in the vicinity of the contemplated improve-
ment, and
WHEREAS, the four lane improvement along Arlington Heights Road would
narrow into a two lane road in the vicinity of where traffic emanates
into the shopping center aforementioned and would therefore cause
congestion and present a traffic hazard to citizens of the Village of
Elk Grove Village and other residents of the County using the facility, and
WHEREAS, it would be desirable from all points of view that the improve-
ment of Arlington Heights Road into a four lane road be continued south
from the point contemplated to where Arlington Heights Road intersects
with Oakton Street which is already a four lane street, thereby eliminating
the traffic hazard referred to and further giving better access and
ingress to all parties concerned.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Elk Grove Village, Counties of Cook and DuPage, Illinois:
Section 1. That the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Elk
Grove Village request that the County of Cook and the County Commissioners
of said County do take any and all appropriate action necessary to extend
the four lane improvement contemplated for Arlington Heights Road south
to the intersection of Arlington Heights Road with Oakton Street.
Section 2. That the President be and is hereby authorized by the Village
Board to take any and all steps necessary to encourage this action on the
part of the County Commissioners of Cook County and such other authorities
as may have jurisdiction over the problem aforementioned.
Section 3. That a certified copy of this resolution be sent by the Village
Clerk to the Cook County Board of Commissioners and to such other officers
of the County as may have jurisdiction over the request herein presented.
Section 4. That this resolution shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage and approval according to law.
PASSED this 18th day of April, 196_3.
APPROVED this 18th day of April, 1963.
