Letter to the Editor; "McHenry proudly proclaims itself the "city of progress". Yet, about a month ago, the city council voted to undertake a project which is a far cry from that proud slogan. "The council voted to open a dead-end street, Venice Avenue, thus permitting entry and exit from either Court or Park Streets. "An examination of facts reveals how unnecessary and unproductive it will be. "Venice Avenue is one block long; 66 feet wide; unimproved; and is South of Elm Street. It may be entered from the West by Court Street but exit at Part Street is blocked by a fence. East of that fence is a 25 foot road easement which dead-ends at Riverside Drive. "Aldermen claim that exit to Riverside Drive is barred; yet they are willing to expend tax dollars to open a oneblock road. Estimated cost, $2,000!!!! "Every property owner on Court, Venice, Park and the 25 foot easement oppose the road opening; 1 property owner favors it. "Why, then, is the council proceeding with the project??? "Road opening will not ease the traffic problem on Elm Street. "Road opening will directly benefit the 1 assenting property owner. The proposed Venice Avenue improvement will correspond to the 25 foot road easement. Therefore, the difference of 40 feet--between the present 66 foot Venice Avenue and the proposed 25 foot roadway, will be added to the frontage the That property owner. "Road opening will be hazardous not only to residents of the area, but to drivers whg may expect a through-way to Riverside Drive. "We are long-time residents of McHenry. We are taxpayers. We are voters. "We protest this action of the city council!!! "We invite all interest. Mc- Henryites to come and see first hand, your tax-dollars at work--on a project that nobody wants and which will have little community value." "Sincerely, "Property Owners, Taxpayers, Voters of "Court Street, Venice Avenue, "Park Street and the 25 Foot Road Easement. "Mrs. Charles B. Tonyan."
