In the past few months, in particular the last week, Yorkville has experienced the indiscriminant removal of existing trees by new developers. This is of great concern to me as well as numerous other residences. One specific incidence occurred in the Rain Tree development. Trees that share a common boundary with Country Hill subdivision were all removed. Many of these trees could certainly have been saved. Please put regulations into effect * protecting this precious part of our environment. 2. I am also concerned with through streets going from one development to another. Country Hiltwill be receiving a play park next summer on Country Hills Drive. At our open Park Board meeting homeowners brought up the concern on the speed of traffic by the park. With Country Hills Drive connecting to Rain Tree this will mean additional traffic. I'm sure appropriate signs will be posted for the area, but we need to be thinking ahead to other options for slowing down traffic in such areas. Traffic calming options should be considered and put to use. Thank You Lana Fiala i ICI
