We're overdue for sidewalks here

Recently, the paper ran an article concerning the building of a new development in the property next to the Jaguar dealership. Having lived in Morgan's Gate for nearly 18 years, I would appreciate if the property owner could incorporate sidewalks in front of their parking lot.

For years now the folks in our development have walked on Route 14, dodging cars to pass the lot, Jaguar dealership and YMCA to reach a sidewalk. (It's) pretty hard to understand how the leaders of Palatine do not see that our development is not connected to the community -- then expecting us to be content with our taxes going to reconstruct cracked sidewalks in all other areas of Palatine?
