April· 13, 1911 IESTIOOR TRAl INIIINDIA '\. .. An entirely new layout for Westmoor Trail has been made possible by the addition of the 175 feet on the South, thus placing under one control this beautiful property at the foot of Westmoor Road extending from Hibbard Road west to the Community Golf Course. The· artist's sketch shown on this · page is by Arthur Dean, drawn to scale from plans by Windes & Marsh, Village Engineers, who have just completed plans for improvements to go in early this summer, in time for this season's building. Everything possible has been done not only to preserve the beauty, but add to it. Parkways for example, in the center, thus protecting the row of beautiful trees on the dividing line, in the middle of the roadway. No unsightly telephone poles or electric lines-everything is to be underground. The roadway is to be of reinforced concrete 18 feet in width, except where the parkways are located, in which case there will be 9 feet provided on either side, giving a beautiful contour instead of straight lines. All improvements are to be put in under one operation, provision being made for Sanitary Sewer, storm water drainage, gas, electric light and power and telephone conduits. paving and 3 foot sidewalk on the South Side of 1 the drive, contiguous to it. This drive will continue to the East line of the two lots - on the West end where a turn-a-round is provided inasmuch as this will be a dead-end roadway, the Community Golf Course and Village Park adjoining the property on the \Vest . High and Dry 'fhis is one of the few available localities in Winnetka overlooking the beautiful Skokie Valley, remaining high and dry. The recent high water demonstrated this . most conclusively. Water does seek the low spots. With a large portion of Skokie playfield under water-water over the roadway on Hibbard between Elm and Spruce -and Elm and Oak Street-while at W estmoor high and dry-a difference in elevation of approximately 8 or 10 feet. The two lots on the extreme \Vest end of W estmoor, approximately fifty feet on the extreme West end, had a few inches of water which will be taken care of by fill from a pool to be constructed there to beautify the two end lots. There will be more heavy rains this spring-don't fool yourself by looking from your · car parked on Hibbard Road. Get out and walk clear down to the end and satisfy yourself, because from the roadway you will see water to the West on Skokie Playfield, to the South and a little patch to the North. Looking from the roadway unless you know definitely where the West line is, you may erroneously conclude that a part of Westmoor Trail may be under water. Walk down and satisfy yourself. If you are looking for a beautiful home-site, don:t deprive yourself of the beauty of thts location by a 'bug-a-boo' that doesn't exist.
