Richton Road Block Grants Discussed at Village Meeting
The plan calls for rebuilding and widening Richton road from Sauk trail to the proposed intersection at Poplar to 219th street as part of a commuter parking lot project costing 109 625 dollars with 90 percent state and federal funding. Burns says work cannot start until property for the parking lot is acquired, so the board should accept resurfacing as an interim measure to address hazardous conditions noted by Trustee Morell Reeves.
