February 17th Roads & Bridges Committee meeting recordings released

The Village has released edited recordings from the Roads & Bridges Committee meeting held on February 17th.  The link to the menu of edited recording segments can be accessed here.

Four people participated during the public comment portion of the meeting, but we believe most readers can relate to the second speaker.  His comments can be heard here.

In addition to the topics on the original meeting agenda, Dan Strahan of Gewalt Hamilton was asked for an update on the Route 68/Dundee Road project announced earlier in February in The Observer.  According to Strahan, not only is IDOT resurfacing Route 68 from Village Hall to the Kane County boarder, they are also adding four-foot paved shoulders along the roadway with gravel shoulders beyond the new paving.

This is likely a first for any road in Barrington Hills since many have no shoulders to speak of, let alone paved.  Once again, we’ll be providing updates on this project as they become available.
