Mr. Jaworski so moved. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. <br />The Clerk reported on the request for a turn - around through the Lexington Park Lakeview <br />area from the Metro Transit System who will be taking over the Dickenson Lines around the <br />1st of February. There was a question as to the advisability of allowing vehicles of the <br />weight of these buses to use the streets in that area. The Council generally felt that <br />those streets are not constructed so as to be able to stand under that sort of usage. Mr.' <br />Jaworski suggested tabling this matter until we have more information. Mr. Al Ross suggested <br />the route of Sunset to Elm Street to 0Id Highway #8 to North Road thus serving more people <br />in the area and using streets that will stand up under the traffic. <br />Mr. Marier moved to write a letter to the Metro Transit suggesting the above route and <br />informaing them of our concern for the streets in the Lexington Park Lakeview area. <br />Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Carried. <br />The Clerk read a letter from the State Highway Department on the light at the intersection <br />of Old Highway #8 and #49. The Highway Department does not maintain any lights except <br />those on freeways. Much discussion followed. The light that is presently located \here <br />the old cutoff was belongs to the Village. It was suggested that we contact NSP about <br />moving that I i ght. Mr. Marier moved to have the clerk write to the highway department <br />informing them of the accident rate on that intersection since the change. Ask them for <br />detailed plans as to what they plan for the Spring in order to move the light there now <br />III to a more useful) position without having to move it again when the department re -does <br />that intersection. Mr. Marier also suggested sending a copy of the letter to the State <br />Highway Patrol. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Also that we should contact NSP <br />engineers for help in relocating the present light. <br />Reported that we have received the second half of the Federal Revenue Sharing in the amount <br />of $9,585.,00 and read the accompanying letter explaining the differences from the first <br />half payment. <br />
