The River Hills Village Board on Feb. 17 will reconsider its decision to allow the closure of the eastbound lane of Green Tree Road between River and Jean Nicolet roads for six months.
The decision to reopen the discussion on the request comes after delivery of petitions with about 90 signatures from residents opposing the plan. In July a group of Green Tree Road residents representing 32 households asked the board to close the street, citing concerns about litter and safety.
After several months of discussion, the board opted for a half closure, the east bound lane only, on a six-month trial basis.
In December the city of Glendale and Nicolet School District sued the village, attempting to stop the plan. A hearing on the case is scheduled in circuit court Feb. 22.
