Committee member urges budget funds to address ATV trail closure at Pecatonica crossing
Summary
A committee member told the Finance and Taxation Committee that the ATV trail is closed from Monroe at the Pecatonica crossing, limiting access to South Duane and affecting weekend businesses, and suggested including capital funds in the upcoming budget to address the crossing.
During member business at the Monroe Finance and Taxation Committee meeting, a committee member urged peers to consider capital dollars in the upcoming budget to address a trail crossing problem on the ATV trail at the Pecatonica.
The committee member said the ATV trail "is closed from Monroe" and that "you can't get to South Duane because of the crossing of the Pecatonica," adding that the closure appears to depress weekend business traffic. The member suggested the committee "think about" allocating funds for capital planning to address the crossing when the budget is drafted.
The suggestion was offered during the "business by members" portion of the meeting; the transcript records the comment as a request for consideration rather than a formal motion or a staff assignment. No staff response, cost estimate, or timeline for repairs was provided on the record. The committee adjourned shortly afterward.
