All one must do is read Trustee (and sadly, Pro Tem) David Riff’s comment in this Facebook post to grasp why he and President Cecola get along just like peas and carrots.

A ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the completion of the Longmeadow Parkway Corridor and the opening of the new bridge that crosses the Fox River will be held Thursday. (Kane County)
By MIKE DANAHEY | Elgin Courier-News
The completion of the Longmeadow Parkway Bridge Corridor will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting event to be held at the Carpentersville bridge at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 29.
Years in planning and construction, the opening of the bridge is the last step in a significant development in Kane County infrastructure, “enhancing connectivity, improving
transportation efficiency and fostering economic growth,” a news release said.
The Longmeadow Parkway is a 5.6-mile stretch of road between Huntley Road and Route 62 that crosses through Carpentersville, Algonquin and Barrington Hills. Its centerpiece is the bridge that crosses over the Fox River.
Initially, the bridge was to be paid for with tolls but state legislators secured enough funding to cover the cost of construction bonds without requiring a user fee to pay for them. It is one of three regional bridges over the river in the northern Kane County area.

Editorial note: Absent from tonight’s agenda is any discussion of the 12th annual The Hills Are Alive Fall Festival 2024 scheduled for Sunday, September 15th at the district Riding Center. Like we’ve noted before, it’s another example of boilerplate agendas to keep taxpaying residents in the dark.
