Please attend this public meeting or consider emailing representatives in opposition of this impractical and extravagant road project!
This October 3rd, 2023, Tuesday, there will be a Homer Glen, Illinois Village Meeting known as a "Workshop" which invites the public to come in, listen to a presentation the Village of Homer Glen has prepared, then afterwards, Public Comment is open. We need you to attend and be involved!
This "Workshop" is due to be a "fluid" and "conversational" gathering which invites residents, stakeholders, and concerned citizens to vocalize their concerns, questions and feedback regarding the road project known as "Parker-Hadley Road Project" per Will County's transportation plan.
This 4-mile corridor consists of three roadways (Parker Road, Chicago Bloomington Trail Road, and Hadley Road, but for the sake of a shorter name, it is called "Parker-Hadley").
October 3rd, 2023, Tuesday. At the Village of Homer Glen, Illinois.
Start time: 6:30pm (arrive 15 minutes early)
14240 W. 151st Street, Homer Glen, Illinois, 60491
If you cannot attend yet want to help with this dire issue which would result in:
*The demolition of hundreds of mature trees
*Demolition of woodlands
*Demolition of farmland
*Damaging people's property (septic tanks, leach fields, utilities, etc.)
*Encroachment onto designated protected land
*Extinguishing significant historical structures/paths
*Exterminating vital plants and creatures in their natural biome
...while inviting truck traffic, inviting more cars, inviting high speeds, inviting unwanted and not needed development, etc. then---->
PLEASE CONSIDER EMAILING these reps to tell them to STOP THIS ROAD PROJECT!
The data the county has collected is flawed & hence does not warrant this road project!
As of now this 4-mile stretch is a Will County Road. A rural minor collector road, with over 100 driveways. The Village or Township can obtain a JT (Jurisdictional Transfer) and maintain the road without any federal funds.
