Limiting power boat use will lower the property value of long time tax payers and homeowners. If the state wants to do that they should have to purchase all their properties above market value.

They have everything south of the Algonquin dam to safely panel and kayak

I do not support any more restrictions to the use of the waterways of the Chain O Lakes or it’s rivers.

There is a time and place for safe non motorized use. All the time would be a death blow to the marina's and bars along the lower fox.

I have lived on the lower fox river since 1993 and oppose any Corridor Plan that will cause any restriction to power boaters. There are plenty of paddle crafts and paddle boards that I see during early weekday and weekend mornings. They’re usally done with their exsertions late morning after they have gotten enough exercise. I don’t think they want to be out in the afternoons sharing the quiet river with power boaters.

This is a infringement of taxpayer rights who own and use the lower fox for their invested recreational purpose.

Terrible idea we the people who live on the fox water paid a lot to enjoy our liberties government interfering and creating safe lanes is a terrible idea instead focus on corruption and gangs and leave the Fox alone

I would sell my house and not live on the lower river anymore because it would be pointless to own a boat where I can't use it.

I never see paddlers on the river on the weekends. Thousands of people are to change for a few.......no way....sell your paddle boat and buy a powerboat and have more fun

This is rediculous why not put it South of the Algonquin Spillway where it has no boating pressure for miles

With the IL $15 min wage I can now afford the Cigarette boat I always wanted!
