Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(70 ILCS 1250/2) (from Ch. 105, par. 126)

Sec. 2.

Whenever any such board of park commissioners shall determine to
extend any such boulevard or driveway under this Act, said board shall
prepare a plan of such proposed extension, and make an estimate of the cost
thereof, and shall obtain the consent in writing of the owners of at least
two-thirds of the frontage of all of the lands not appropriated to or held
for public use abutting on such public waters, in front of which it is
proposed to extend such boulevard or driveway for the making of such
extension, and shall also obtain the consent of the supervisor and assessor
corporate authorities of the town or towns in which the lands abutting on
such public waters in front of such proposed extension may lie, to the
making of such extension. The riparian or other rights of the owners of
lands on the shore adjoining the waters in which it is proposed to
construct such extension, the said board of park commissioners may acquire
by contract with or deeds from any such owner; and in case of inability to
agree with any such owner, proceedings may be had to condemn such rights
according to the provisions of the Eminent Domain Act.
