A RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE IMPROVEMENT
OF COUNTY LINE ROAD
WHEREAS, the HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT OF THE COUNTY OF COOK, in
cooperation with the County of Lake proposes to improve that portion of
County Line Road which adjoins or traverses the corporate limits of the
Village of Deerfield by increasing its width to provide for four lanes
of traffic, which improvement will have significant effects upon traffic
and safety conditions on streets owned and maintained by the Village of
Deerfield which intersect with County Line Road and on the development
of lands adjoining such Village streets; and
WHEREAS, the Plan Commission of the Village of Deerfield and the
Village's traffic consultant have recommended that the safe movement of
traffic on said improved County Line Road and the intersecting Village
streets would be greatly enhanced by the construction of left -turn bays
on County Line Road at its intersection with certain Village streets
and the blocking or closing off to vehicular traffic of other intersect-
ing Village streets; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Deerfield concur in such recommendations and deem it to be in the best
interests of the Village to implement such recommendations to the fullest
extent possible.

vacation and do such other acts as may be necessary to prohibit and pre-
vent vehicular traffic from entering on or exiting from County Line Road
at the intersection thereof with Forestway Avenue,,Fairview Avenue,
Kenmore Avenue and Willow Avenue (as extended).
2. That in the further interest of increased safety and efficiency

tion to the improvements hereinabove described, construct left -turn bays
