Committee flags bike-path easement and township grant role while planning Shabbona work
Summary
Members said the township handles bike‑path grants even though the village holds an easement; they discussed possibly transferring the easement to the township or entering intergovernmental agreements if county work could add an asphalt bike path.
Committee members discussed whether a county road project could incorporate improvements to the nearby bike path and who holds responsibility for easements and grants. One member said the village currently holds the easement but that "all the grants that the bike path has got are made out through the township," and suggested the easement may need transferring or intergovernmental agreements to facilitate any changes.
Members suggested asking the county about coordinating an asphalt bike-path connection or using easement rights to improve pedestrian access while the roadway work is done. No agreements were made; the committee decided to add the idea to the prioritized list to present to the county and to ask township representatives about grant processes and potential easement transfer.
