Alderman McKay made the following report: Streets and Traffic meeting met evening of August 14 to consider possible re- routing of highway 62 off of Wolf Road. Present, in addition to Mrs. L.Kariolich of 1275 Wolf Road, and several other residents of the area, were Messrs. E.D.Little of 1440 Wolf, Roy Heyman, 1449 Wolf, Roy Bistany, 1425 Wolf. The latter three acted as principal spokesmen for the group, presenting their reasons for desiring change in routing, comments concerning speed and load limit; and suggestions for alternate routes, viz: Continue 62 on Oakton to either Mt. Prospect Road.or ElmhurstRoad thence to Algonquin. Bring 62 over Touhy to either Mt.Prospect Road or Elmhurst, thence' to Algonquin. One of the group present suggested the desirability of eliminating 62 altogether from Talcott Road below Park Ridge, which suggestion had been made to the chairman before the meeting by Ald.Tistle, who is of the opinion Park Ridge would support an endeavor by Des Plaines for such a change. The idea would be to combine 62 and 72 over Higgins Road from Talcott and Higgins to either Elmhurst Road or Busse Road, then 62 to jog north to Algonquin and continue as is. It was the concensus of all concerned this suggestion would be an ideal solution to the problem, as it would divert through traffic from ParkRidge and vicinity and also the•Des Plaines area, and might well be considered practicable with the availability of the toll -road and other highway improvement. Alderman Wexler has agreed to prepare a resolution for the consideration pf the Council, which we recommend be given favorable action, with a copy to Park Ridge soliciting support, also by resolution, of the combination 62-72 re-routing, the resolutions to be sent to the highway department. /s/ S.E.McKay /s/ S.B.Wexxer /s/ L.E,Martin On motion by Alderman McKay and second by Martin the Council concurred in the report.
