by installing proper signage and reconfiguration of the road as well as
parking.
2) Provide landscaping along Parker Road to beautify the area.
3) Have the right to construct underpasses for safer access for our
customers and over 100,000 spectators during the Western Open.
Cog Hill will make the following commitments to the Village of
Lemont and the County of Cook at the time the 1928 easement is vacated:
1) Provide complete and unrestricted access to all Fire, Police,
Emergency, Utility and other Governmental Vehicles on and along Parker
Road.
2) Provide complete and unrestricted access to all other vehicles
on and along Parker Road except during the week of the Western Open or
