WILMa TTB . L.IPB ·An entirely new layout for Westmoor Trail has been · made pOssible by the addition of the li'S feet on the South, thus placing under one control this beautiful property at the foot of Westmoor Road extending from Hibbard Road west to the Community Golf Course. The artist's sketch shown on this page is by Arthur Dean, drawn to scale from .plans by Windes & Marsh, Village Engineers, who have just completed plans for improvements to go in early this summer, in time for · this season's building. Everything possible has been done not only to preserve the beauty, but add to it. Parkways for example, in the center, thus protecting the row of beautiful trees on the dividing line, in the middle of the roadway. No unsightly telephone poles or electric · lines-everything is to be underground. The roadway is to be of reinforced concrete 18 feet in width, except wher~ the parkways are located, in which case there will be 9 feet provided on either side, giving a beautiful contour instead of straight lines. All improvements are to be put in under one operation, provision being made for Sanitary Sewer, storm water drainage, gas, electric light and power ancl telephone conduits, paving and 3 foot sidewalk on the South Side of the drive, contiguous to· it~ This drive will continue to the East line of the two lots on the West end where a turn-a-round is provided inasmuch as this will. be a dead-end roadway, the Commumty Golf Course and Village Park adjoining the property on th<' West.
