Fleming Road Citizens Group Meeting This Morning

A group of Fleming Road citizens are meeting 10:00 a.m. Wednesday morning in the McHenry County Department of Transportation Offices, 16111 Nelson Road Woodstock. The Citizens Advisory Group has been meeting with road officials regarding Fleming Road improvements which are involving the disruption of vegetation and removal of some long-standing trees along the sides of the road. Much of this has a long-standing history and is considered a beautification amenity for a drive through the area.

The group has been working with the McHenry County Department of Transportation (McDOT) in an attempt to retain as much of this beatification as possible. The discussion is expected to be held regarding such topics as assumptions, design criteria, construction limits,

This north-south collector road running through Bull Valley is need of improvement of the deteriorating pavement. This is a project undertaken by the McDOT since the road is a county road. McDOT and the citizens along the road are working together in an attempt to give both sides an opportunity to be heard.  

Yellow ribbons attached to trees along this roadway are placed there by residents along the road and any others who agree with the need for upgrading but not downgrading of the scenic view.
