there is prolonged delay in formulating a final design for said State Aid
Road No, 62 and in acquiring properties which will be needed for right-of-
way for the same, this Village requests that plans for said Road, showing
the layout and grade-lines which will be used,. be submitted for approval
within two years from the date hereof. Upon obtaining approval of a lay-
out and grade lines by this Village, but not before such approval, it is
further requested that properties needed for such right-of~rtay be ob-
tained without undue delay„ Believing the foregoing requests to be reason-
able and consistent with just treatment of e~-eryone concerned, be it noted
that this Village may refuse approval of plans and specifications for said

sign for said road within this Village, this Council respectfully sug-
gests including the following features in such design:
A, Grade separations at all intersections of said Road with major north-
so uth thoroughfares.
B, Access onto said road only at such major intersections.
C, An alignment of said road which within reasonable limits of good
highway design and economy, will keep right-of-way acquisitions within this
Village to a minumum.
D, Service roads so as to avoid dead-end streets adjacent to said road.
B, Boulevard areas of sufficient width to avoid traveled roadways i1n
close proximity to residences.
