“BARRINGTON, IL – A public meeting will be held on Thursday, Nov. 9 to discuss road improvements proposed on Illinois Route 62 in Barrington Hills. The Illinois Department of Transportation will accept public comments at the meeting and written comments that are mailed or submitted online until Dec. 1.
IDOT didn’t specify what improvements are planned on the main Barrington Hills thoroughfare except that they are planned between Illinois 25 and Illinois 68, a stretch that covers most of the village. Preliminary engineering and environmental studies have already begun.
The hearing, planned from 4-7 p.m. on Nov. 9 at the Barrington Park District, 235 Lions Drive in Barrington, will introduce the project, obtain public input and inform those in attendance about additional public involvement opportunities.
Exhibits will be on display and an audio-visual presentation will be shown during the open-house format meeting.
The official public meeting record will include comments heard in person, mailed and ones that will be submitted online here.”

In addition, IDOT has set up a website for the project which does not include any further details, but we will continue to monitor it for any updates. We did note that the logo (above) for the project contains a horse, trees and a bicycle.
