The Courier-News (via Chicago Tribune) reports that the Kane County (IL) Division of Transportation “has hit a potential roadblock to remove trees on Autumn Trail in Barrington Hills. [Link deleted.] Barrington Hills residents, along with village trustees, argue Autumn Trail is a private, not public road, so the county does not have authority to remove the trees, officials said.” Some Autumn Trail properties are within the Longmeadow Parkway project corridor, where work on a new road and toll bridge is just starting. Discussions between the county and the village are underway.
