The Illinois Department of Transportation has confirmed that snow fences will be installed along Illinois Route 76 to protect travelers. Your collective effort ensured that this essential safety improvement became a reality. We will continue to monitor the installation process to ensure the project reaches completion.
Friday February 24th, Boone County lost the lives of two amazing girls due to blowing snow on Illinois Route 76. The blowing snow causes black ice and impassable roadways. During the winter this highway is very unsafe to travel due to Boone County not being able to keep up with plowing and salting. Snow fences have been used in the past and have helped contain the blowing snow. Belvidere North high school is right off of Route 76, which means there are childrens lives at stake during the winter when they must travel on this unsafe highway to attend school. Salting and Plowing are not enough anymore.
The petition regarding safety measures on Illinois Route 76 has reached one hundred signatures. This level of interest confirms the urgency of the situation for our community. I appreciate the attention you have brought to this necessary infrastructure change.

My daughter drives this road every single morning. It scares me to death every time it snows. Do something before another family gets that phone call.

Route 76 is a total death trap in the winter. Put the fences up it only makes sense.
