Attached to this Weekly Update is a copy of the article "Officials: Hwy 10 Study Shows Traffic Flow, Safety can be Improved at Lower Cost" Tree Clearing Begins in Country Club Hills. Tree clearing began today, June 4, in Country Club Hills (east side of Variolite Street and 161' Avenue). There is a significant amount of tree removal that is occurring with this project. However, the approved tree preservation plan includes multiple 'tree save areas' as well as an increased planting schedule (four [4] trees per lot instead of the normally required two [2] trees per lot). In addition, much of the tree removal will be used for the creation of lumber and landscape woodchips. Only a small amount (grinding of stumps) will not be re -purposed. Just a reminder that Safety Camp is around the corner! Camp is June 16 -17 from 7:45 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. at Lord of Life Church. Camp is completely full and we are looking forward to another fun year!
