This message from a group called “Don’t Change Barrington Hills” popped into my email inbox today:
MEETING ALERT
Barrington Hills Village Board Meeting
Date: Monday, July 28, 2014
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Barrington Hills Village Hall
Anti-Bike Lane yard sign in Barrington Hills.
The President and Board of Trustees will make a decision this coming Monday night, July 28, regarding the reclassification of our roads to be consist[ent] with our Comprehensive Plan and the Resolution Request not to execute the construction of bike lanes, markings or sign-age of any kind in Barrington Hills.
A lot is at stake at Monday night’s board meeting.
At stake is whether we will succumb to development pressure, increase traffic noise, higher taxes, reduced property values, and a lower quality of life.
It is imperative that you attend!
Let President McLaughlin and the Trustees know, that we stand strong and we expect them to do what is best for the long term vision of Barrington Hills!
See you Monday night at 6:30.
Best regards,
Don’t Change Barrington Hills

State law says that a motorist must be three feet from a bicyclist on a road.
Bike paths are proposed on Algonquin-River Road, Spring Creek Road, Haegers Bend Road and Braeburn Road.
Bike paths proposed in Barrington Hills.
The web site for the group can be found here.
Linked in the email is this article about Campton Hills, an 11,000-person village mostly east of Route 47 in Campton Township in Kane County.
There is some connection to an improvement proposed for Haegers Bend Road.
The web site shows the bike lane opponents have used a technique I have suggested for over five years–cameras to catch sign thieves.
This woman was caught on camera stealing a anti-bike lane yard sign in Barrington Hills.
Here is a second image of the sign thief.
Nice Cal,
So who is going to pony up and ID the perp?
Cal, why aren’t you covering the opposition to the Oakwood Hills power plant?
Next zoning meeting Thursday at Holiday Inn 6:30
Sign stealing is rather funny.
I bet she is really embarrassed. l.o.l.
Gotcha
Cal, why aren’t you covering the Oakwood Hills power plant meeting?
The Facebook page created for the opposition has over 1200 followers over 800 showed up to the last zoning hearing.

She should be easy to ID. Also, she appears to be in need of some bicycle riding. (;~>
