No Date Yet For Randall CFI Meeting, Take Two

McHenry County Transportation Committee Chairman Anna May Miller said Wendesday there's still no date set for the McHenry County Division of Transportation to return to either Algonquin or Lake in the Hills with more information to support plans for a novel intersection to fix traffic tieups at Randall and Algonquin Roads. "They're still gathering information," she said.

Algonquin trustees expressed reservations right off the bat after an MCDOT presentation in January. Lake in the Hills Trustees had to think about it a little before they decided last month they had problems with the idea, too, but backed off on a resolution to immediately reject a so-called Continuous Flow Intersection.

LITH Village President Ed Plaza said Tuesday he and village officials had met with MCDOT engineers but said, "The meeting was not to resolve anything but so they'd have a better understanding of our concerns."

"We asked them to come up with an apples to apples comparison," said Plaza. "We'd like to see what a standard widening would do to the commercial entrances." Impact on retailers was the kind of thing Algonquin trustees were worried about, too.
