The Roads To Nowhere

Here is an update on where things stand with our road situation. Please spread this to as many people as you know who were affected by the McHenry County Department of transportation ruling regarding their road jurisdiction. The more people we can get to band together the more successful we will be. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

The Algonquin Township Road District budget is over $3.2 million to maintain 55 miles of roads, which works out to over $59,000 per mile of road maintained. Our neighbors in Nunda and Grafton Township have budgets of $38,000 and $25,000 per mile, respectively. So while we are the "richest" township in McHenry County, our Road Commissioner can't afford to help with our roads. Even though the law clearly allows it.

Episode 2 is live! Learn more about MFT funding, why our highway commissioner voluntarily ended services that her department offered residents for 40 years, and watch the McHenry County Transportation Committee confirm what I’ve been saying all along - the paving improvement to Linden Ave and Victor Place in 2012 automatically triggered a change in road jurisdiction per Illinois state law. Yet, all parties involved are pretending they never saw, heard, or know anything.
