- ILLINOIS PRAIRIE PATH NEWS
- (This message concerns the Illinois Prairie Path that winds through the
- western suburbs of Chicago...thru Warrenville, Wheaton, Glen Ellen, etc.)
-
- The Illinois Commerce Commission is scheduled to decide, this year,
- whether or not ComEd can build a line of 138,000 volt transmission
- lines along the Prairie Path. ComEd engineers have stated that up
- to 85% of the trees currently lining the Path are "junk trees anyway
- and should not be missed". The nonprofit grassroots organization
- FRIENDS OF THE PRAIRIE PATH have set up a legal fund to raise money
- for legal efforts to stop ComEd from using the Path and come up with
- another plan that would not impact the Path.
-
- Donations are being accepted at:
-
- Friends of the Prairie Path Legal Fund
- P.S. Box 4413
- Wheaton, IL 60189-4413
-
- Checks payable to: Friends of the Prairie Path Legal Fund
-
- Questions can be answered by calling 708 393 6276
-
- Also, the "Friends" want to alert people interested in this issue to
- the following:
-
- Senator Paul Simon will hold a TOWN MEETING on 11 JAN 1993
- from 7 to 8pm at the K Building at College of Dupage.
-
- The Prairie Path folks will be there to bring this
- issue to Senator Simon's attention and ask for his
- support in demanding ComEd to seek alternative plans.
