Residents of the Plum Grove Estates subdivision say widening the Briarwood Lane bridge will increase fast-moving traffic in an area with no sidewalks.
Residents of Palatine’s unincorporated Plum Grove Estates subdivision packed the room last Wednesday evening to offer their views about plans to replace a beloved neighborhood bridge. Plum Grove Estates is west of Illinois Route 53 and north of Algonquin Road.

Instead of doing nothing, or repairing the bridge for $370,000 — which would give it another 10 to 12 years of life — Powers has plans to replace the bridge entirely. His plans call for widening the bridge by six to eight feet, realigning …
