One person made public comments, however he was with a firm that will be submitting a bid to provide engineering services to Barrington Hills.
The 2017 road resurfacing program was discussed, and, for the second year in a row, Committee Chair Brian Cecola suggested that resurfacing of the Village Hall parking lot should be postponed in favor of further catching up on residential road maintenance. The village engineer stated he would look into which roads may be brought forward from the 2018 work schedule that would fit into the budget, if the parking lot resurfacing be postponed.
Drainage issues along a portion of Oak Knoll Road were discussed at the suggestion of Trustee Konicek, and that conversation can be heard here.
A Longmeadow Parkway update was provided that should be of interest to Autumn Trail residents. It seems Kane County was unaware this road is private and that homeowners own the right of ways, not the Village, as can be heard here.
This discussion later expanded to the ramifications of the Longmeadow Parkway project from already congested traffic on Algonquin Road/Route 62 and proactive efforts by Village officials to mitigate safety issues for residents should that roadway ever be expanded to four lanes. Intersections at Bateman and Old Sutton Roads, as well as horse trail crossings, are among the biggest concerns expressed during the meeting.
The next Roads & Bridges meeting is scheduled for December 15th.
