The Plan Commission met on August 10th, and a representative from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) provided an update on the agency’s efforts to create a biking trail connecting the Old Stover Trailhead at Crabtree Nature Center to the Fox River Bike Trail. No trails are being considered for roads under Village jurisdiction, as CMAP can only implement planning of county or state maintained roads.
The current existing options under consideration by CMAP for bike routes, each of which have differing timelines for possible implementation if chosen, include:
- Poplar Creek Trails & Shoe Factory Rd (nearly complete)
- Penny Rd (requires connectivity through East Dundee)
- Algonquin Rd (long term if IDOT reconstructs roadway)

The Board of Health also met last week on August 11th. The primary topic of their meeting was the results of further “Level 2” well water quality test results from various wells throughout the Village. The menu to the edited recording from that meeting can be accessed here.
