Speak out on Illinois highway safety

The Illinois Department of Transportation and Division of Traffic Safety have begun the process of developing the Fiscal Year 2007 Highway Safety Plan for the state. Once again IDOT will be hosting a series of public hearings throughout the state for local agencies and the public in a forum that allows everyone to express their concerns about traffic safety issues in their communities.

The Illinois Trail Conservancy is asking for cyclists and pedestrians to put in their two cents worth so that those groups will be represented in the plan. The hearings began April 18 in Pekin and includes a May 2 hearing in Fairview Heights for those of you who live in Southwestern Illinois. You can find a full schedule at IDOT's Web site.

Thanks to Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society member Tracy Hall for alerting me to this.
