One of the 120 public forum's was held last night from 4-7 at the Hainesville Village Hall. We had an excellent crowd in fact sometimes it was an overflow. There were opportunities to review and then to comment on the project. The review aspect consisted of a quite a few informational flyers and then we had large maps that covered the major aspects of the project, environmental, traffic and land use. The maps illustrated the projects various facets ranging from the ADT (Average Daily Traffic) counts to the type of land in the corridor.I was very gratified to see a strong contingent of Round Lakers! Al Villasenor, Michael Blum, Liz Nelson, Tim Latta, Deb Jones, and Todd Wright among many others who I missed! We also had a strong contingent from the county board and from mayors and elected officials as well. A special guest was Congresswomen Melissa Bean, who along with Congressman Mark Kirk are advocating on both sides of the aisle for our next step in funding, which is the Phase 1 engineering! We are asking for $15 million and we are quite hopeful.
