Water main upgrade may threaten two ancient oaks
Olympia Fields residents fight to spare two very old oaks on Greenwood Drive as public works moves to install a six inch water main. Trustee Dan Regan cites trenching options and a $107000 contract with Hulette Corporation while arborist Lynn Zachman warns trenching could fail. The Village Board will decide whether to save the trees.

Group backs I 355 extension with local funds
A coalition led by the Southern Alliance for Extension plans to file a friend of the court brief to urge action on the I 355 extension from Bolingbrook to New Lenox. Lockport aldermen approved a 300 dollar contribution for court costs, joining about a dozen towns and Will County in a 6 000 dollar legal fund. The federal ruling halted work pending a new environmental study, with appeals underway.
