(605 ILCS 5/6-312) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-312)
Sec. 6-312.
In case such final order was entered by the highway
commissioner as provided in Section 6-311 of this Code finally determining
the advisability of such proposed laying out, widening, alteration or
vacation of any township or district road, any 3 qualified petitioners who
may have signed the petition for such proposed laying out, widening,
alteration or vacation, or any 3 legal voters residing within 2 miles of
any portion of such road, or any 3 other persons owning land in the road district or owning land within 2 miles of any portion of such road, may (if either they are
qualified petitioners or they both have raised objections at the hearing
pursuant to Section 6-311 of this Act and will be directly and adversely
affected by such proposed laying out, widening, alteration or vacation)
appeal to the county superintendent of highways by filing a notice of such
appeal in the office of the district clerk within 10 days of the date of
filing the decision appealed from. Thereupon such clerk shall at once
transmit all papers relating to such proposed laying out, widening,
altering or vacation of such road to the county superintendent of highways,
who shall within 20 days after the receipt of the same, hold a public
hearing within such district to finally determine upon the laying out,
widening, altering or vacation of such road. Such hearing shall be upon
such notice and conducted in like manner as the hearing before the highway
commissioner relative to such final decision and from which appeal has been
taken, except that the powers and duties of the county superintendent of
highways in conducting such hearing and in determining and filing his final
order shall be identical to the powers and duties of such superintendent
prescribed by Section 6-311 of this Act. Judicial review may be pursued
after such final order of the county superintendent of highways relative to
the alteration or vacation of such roads in the manner provided in Section
6-315a of this Division.
