Dedication of Eighth Scenic Road in McHenry County On Saturday

As part of the McHenry County Scenic Roads Program, Fleming Road in Bull Valley is to be dedicated Saturday as the 8th Scenic Road in the County.

The ceremony is taking place on Fleming Road, north of Country Club Road at 1:00 p.m. Parking is available along the4 shoulders of the road. But motorists are asked to please avoid damage to grassy areas or plants. The McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission, the Scenic Streets and Roads Committee is inviting the public to celebrate the dedication of Fleming Road as a McHenry County Scenic Road. A reception will follow at the Woodstock Country Club.

About The McHenry County Scenic Roads Program.
This program was established to recognize both roads and the surrounding features that create their character (the road corridor). The program can be applied to any type of road located in McHeny County, including city streets, residential streets and rural roads.

Completed application forms are reviewed by the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission and the Scenic Streets and Roads Subcommittee, whose members consist of representatives from throughout McHenry County.

Scenic Streets and Roads designation does not “freeze” roads in time. Traffic and life safety issues continue to be addressed while those significant features are acknowledged. This program is intended to recognize roads that are important to the life of McHenry County.
