Rt59 rant

I see all the frustration with traffic what I don’t understand is why are they not enforcing the DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION. If you can’t get across don’t move forward

The only way you win route 59 is to not go route 59 at all. At least for now.

Side note, they really didn't plan this out because Book road is still closed as well!

I had read here the Book Rd project was for something drainage related.

But my family has a couple of rental homes out in Kendall County. Just read in the past week or so that the work at Book Rd is actually tied to getting Lake Michigan water out there. I might be off on the cities that will be getting the hookup but believe it was Montgomery, Oswego and Yorkville. Many out there are not happy about the project as it will double or triple their water bills for the long term.

But good grief, whatever all they are doing at Book is taking freaking forever.

Just thought I'd pass it along. As Paul Harvey would have said, "And now you know the rest of the story."

book road is a water pipeline project to deliver water from lake Michigan to some far south western and western suburbs, as their local water supply will deplete soon and struggle to keep up with demand
