McHenry County has published a list of potential transportation projects on their website and is asking residents to rank their level of support for various proposals.
Of special interest to Barrington Hills residents is a proposal for District 1 called the North Algonquin Fox River Crossing (seen at left). This would create a new crossing over the Fox River, accessed by a new roadway to be constructed beginning on County Line Road just west of Haegers Bend/Route 25, with an estimate construction cost of $63 million. This is very similar to the Northern Bypass project which long-time residents will remember fighting years ago.
To voice your preference on this proposal, click on this link. You may also provide written comments.
The deadline to vote or comment on this or any proposal is this Tuesday, June 18th.
Online comments welcomed;; letters even better per Jasoh Osborn McHenry County Highway Dept. keep watching their site for online info, meetings and hearings throughout the summer.
