Closing of Green Tree Road still up in the air
The River Hills Village Board will wait another month before reconsidering a request from some residents along Green Tree Road between River and Jean Nicolet Roads for a partial closure of the street.
The board in November agreed to a trial closure of the eastbound lane. The lane would be open to residents living on Green Tree and for emergency vehicles, school buses and other municipal vehicles, such as garbage trucks, but closed to other traffic.
In February, trustees voted to reconsider the closure after receiving petitions from other residents opposed to the closing.
The board started its meeting Wednesday night with a closed session to discuss the reconsideration and a pending lawsuit in federal court.
The city of Glendale and Nicolet School District have sued the village, attempting to stop the partial closure. On the advice of legal counsel, the board deferred discussion of the partial closure to its March meeting.
River Hills will not close that road while the lawsuit is pending.
