Riverdale Board Approves Illinois Central Track Elevation Ordinance
The Riverdale village board passed the Illinois Central track elevation ordinance after two months of revisions with railroad engineers. Key changes include 8 inches of concrete in subways, a potential subway at 144th or 146th streets, and Branigar Bros offering a 60 foot east side street dedication if 144th is chosen. Chief counsel John G. Drennan cited Supreme Court rulings and urged a square deal while protecting railroad prerogatives. The ordinance will be published in The Pointer.
