Metamora board approves two IDOT temporary closures of IL‑116 for summer events
Summary
The Village of Metamora approved two IDOT temporary closure permits for state‑maintained IL‑116: one for the America 250 celebration June 6–7, 2026, and one for a Village Square concert on July 25, 2026. Both resolutions passed unanimously.
The Board of Trustees voted to approve two IDOT temporary closure permits for state‑maintained IL‑116 to accommodate summer events in Metamora. Attorney Gaster presented the resolutions and Trustee Schierer moved to approve the closure permit for the Village’s America 250 celebration on June 6 and June 7, 2026; the board approved the motion 6 yeas, 0 nays.
Trustee Schierer then moved to approve a separate resolution to close IL‑116 for a concert on the Village Square on July 25, 2026; Trustee Glueck seconded and the board again voted 6 yeas, 0 nays. The measures authorize the village to pursue IDOT permits to temporarily close the state roadway for both events and allow staff to coordinate required traffic control and safety measures with IDOT and contractors.
The motions were recorded in the meeting minutes with the exact event dates and the roadway (IL‑116) specified; the board did not discuss conditions or alternative routing during the motions.
