His mother was enroute to the., veterinarian's, to be put into a peaceful and permanent sleep when she jumped from her box and out the window of a truck conveying her to her destination. • This was some kind of sign for us. When Dumpling made his appearance some weeks later, on our birthday, he y had the same spunk that kept his V mother alive. He had earned his way into our life, our home -- and too often into our refrigerator! KAF ASSEMBLY PASSES IROAD BILL ASkED BY COUNTY BOARD , (Continued from page 1) June of 1959. It provides the use of motor vehicle tax funds to be used by -the county board in the maintenance or improvement of private subdivision roads established prior to July 23, 1959, Schaffer and Klemm explained. "Individuals living on private roads will now be aided so they can upgrade road systems and turn them over to townships," the two lawmakers said in a joint statement. This4egi$lation will give individuals Jiving on private subdivision roads -Additional help should they choose to upgrade their roads and turn them over \o the township. The bill was introduced $md passed at the request of the ^dcHenry County board. VOICE CONCERNS McHENRY BRIDGE \PLAN (Contin from page 1) said. "We are asking for a review of the width of those lam Bruce Klontz commented that there as a grass parkway between the street and the sidewalk in front of his building and said this could be used for a parking lane, which would still leave enough room for a sidewalk. „ "You (the state) are saying there is a need for the traffic but not a need for business," charged one businessman who rents a building on the north side of Route 120. "You are pushing business out of the uptown (to the west)." George Catalano, an IDOT engineer, said the state was not seeking to take away any parking that was not necessary and would review the matter. Catalano also cited the Tan- sportation department's concern for the number of utilities that will have to «n under the sidewalk. The answer, he id, should be available in about a month. The state transportation represen­ tative assured Riverside drive mer­ chants that the road would remain open during the actual construction of the bridge. Project planner Jerry Gap said the proposed detour route for westbound Route 120 automobiles would be north on Charles street to Lincoln road, across the Pearl street bridge to Route 31 and south to Route 120. Trucks headed west on Route 120 are slated to be detoured north on Chapel Hill road to Johnsburg road, west on Johnsburg road to Route 31 and south on Route 31 to Route 120. Gap continued to say that at least one lane of east bound traffic would be open during reconstruction of the bridge. "Trying to maintain two lanes of (east-west) traffic would be costly and time consuming," Gap told the audience of about 60 people. Gap also noted that four parcels were expected to be purchased by the state for right-of-way land. They include most of the Rietesel property on the northwest corner of the River road and Route 120 intersection, small portions of the property on the northeast and southeast corners of the same in­ tersection and a small section at the intersection of Charles street and Route 120. The state is also seeking three con­ struction easements on the north side of Route 120, near the Riverside hotel, the south side of Route 120, adjacent to Petals and Stems, and on the south side of River road and Route 120. Bruce ManxardcL owner of the Riversid^notel, questioned the IDOT representatives and w^s assured that access to the parkin/ area would be maintained before, during and after construction of the retaining wall on the north side of Route 120. According to the presentation of Jerry Gap, the improvement of the Route 120 bridge will ease traffic congestion at the two intersections and will increase safety aspects. The bridge, he said, shows asphaltic cracking, which indicates cracks in the concrete below the surface of the roadway. Further deterioration is evidenced by spalling (potholes), the deflection of the retaining wall and cracks in the concrete support struc­ tures The state, he continued, had essen­ tially eliminated the rebuilding of the existing structure due to its age. The bridge was built in 1927. According to the plan for develop­ ment presented at Tuesday night's meeting, the new bridge will have four lanes as opposed to the existing two, and will provide for widening and traffic lane improvements on both east and west banks Four lanes of traffic with 150-foot left turn lanes at both the Riverside drive and River road in­ tersections are among the envisioned improvements. On the east side of the river, the four lanes of traffic will merge into two at a point approximately 400 feet east of Charles street. The sources of funding for the project are primarily federal and state (Crosstown monies), however, local participation is expected for traffic signal installation. According to a timetable presented by IDOT, the final report for the proposed project is expected in August of this year. Project approval is scheduled for October or November of 1981 with project design and right-of-way acquisition to continue through October of 1963. Bids are slated to be let in November and December of 1983, with construction to start, presumably, in 1984 ° Written comments on the proposed reconstruction of the Route 120 bridge will be accepted until July 10, 1961. Those people interested in writing should direct their comments to Sigmund C. Ziejewski, Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Highways District I, 1000 Plaza drive, Schaumburg, 111., 60196.
