OPS convenient A "SMART" INVESTMENT PAGfc i« - rlAINOEALEK • PHUMV, STUDY POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT OF RT. 120 (Cowtlnwd from pogt 1) and the high incidence of traffic ac­ cidents indicate to us a wider roadway should be provided along this par­ ticular stretch of Route 130." The way Route 120 is signaled at Chapel Hill Road "will be studied in the future," said Mueller, who assured the public, "the speed limit would be exactly the same as it is now." Mayor Joseph Stanek, who attended , the meeting, commented, "This is something that would benefit the citizen of McHenry. It would save lives, tempers and property in the long run, and I feel it should be con­ summated and completed as soon as possible." But as is the case in any major road project, state improvements to Route 120 will not be made without in- AUGUBTlMtn • convemencing some property owners. Several citizens present at the meeting were not as optimistic about the project as the McHenry mayor. One of the snags in the project surfaces through a simple problem of mathematics: the state may need up to 100 feet right of way to improve the roadway to Its satisfaction-- and the existing right of way averages just over 60 feet. Some homeowners, particularly in the Voto area, feel the highway will be cutting a little too close to their front doors. "I'm concerned about the children and danger with traffic in Volo," said one resident. "If you put in a superhighway, it will divide our community worse. Right now we can't sit in our front yard because of the noise and pollution from the trucks." In a related question, another Volo resident asked what would happen to the homes, already located very close to the highway, when the state seeks additional property for an expanded right-of-way. "An appraisal would be made of the . property, and you would be offered •1 50 SH0WPLACE 5 SHOWPIACE 1-2-3-4 Rofqn inC, Downtown 4552000 R • M & 3 I C'ys*ol lake 455 1 00 S f) A11 V T11 S 1 S 3 0 0 A d u l t s $ ? 0 0 Y o u n g A d u l t s t ? t o 1 6 $ 1 5 0 C h i l d r e n ( I I g u n H p . i HU., SAT.

In the case where a portion of a building is located on the land in question, the state may decide to purchase the entire parcel, he added. "A negotiator would come out from the state and explain your alter­ natives. You may accept or reject them." Osnacz added that an en­ vironmental assessment will be made, which will take into account the proximity of the roadway to homes or businesses, including noise and pollution. Dick Hyatt, village president of Lakemoor, anticipates a major ex­ pense for his municipality in the improvement of the road. The village's sewer main is located near the existing pavement. If a larger right of way is needed, the sewer main may have to be relocated at the village's expense. All permits issued for the installation of utilities contain such "stipulations" regarding their possible relocation, said Osnacz. One resident expressed doubts that the Route 120 project will ever reach the construction phase, equating it to the FAP 420 project, which the state has now put on the back burner. Another individual suggested that the state construct a new east-west road instead, south of existing Route 120. "The department has a limited amount of funds, and we don't want to build an additional road, but improve the one we have," said Osnacz in defense. "It would cost twice as much to maintain both roads." He explained that studies on FAP 420 met with problems, and the economy was poor at the time it was planned, "and in the meantime, funds dried up. As a result, weren't able to implement all the projects that were envisioned" "Even if 420 is built, there still will 'have to be improvements made to the lauxiliary roads, such as fioute 120." The next public meeting on the" Route 120 improvements will be sometime in the early months of 1984. A public hearing, prior to final approval of the road plan, is anticipated in the fall of 1984. i Additional inquiries and statements may be submitted to the following address, prior to August 23: Sigmund C.

Today, minus these out­ moded but often effective traps, we suffer in silence as we wave fran­ tically to keep hungry flies away from our food. Regulations against spraying are strict, although it is sometimes a toss- up whether the danger is greater from contents of the spray or germs carried by the winged insects. There are other changes also which we will leave to ponder at another time. KAF MORAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST McHENRY MAN (Continued from pago 1) whether to increase the bond or Jail Wons without bond.
