120 and the Rotary!

Yesterday morning I was up early giving a speech to the Libertyville Sunrise Rotary at Lambs Farm, about the 120 bypass and the 120 Corridor Planning Council. There were about 75 members present and I was quite impressed by the level of commitment and dedication of the members. There was a lively give and take about the pressing need for transportation improvements of all kinds throughout the county. I also saw Mayor Tim Perry of Grayslake and Mayor Jeff Hager of Libertyville as well.

It was interesting to hear the feedback from the mostly Eastern side of the county people to traffic improvement in the western end of the county. The business people certainly understood the need to get people to work more efficiently and the ability to compete with Wisconsin and Cook County for businesses and jobs!
