A resident asked about opposition to a bike lane on Pioneer Trail that would broaden a regional trail connection toward Aurora. Commissioners said the park district is leading the project and that the community is divided; residents cited privacy and safety concerns (NIMBY objections) in Mattaway Township.
Commissioners encouraged engagement with the park district and noted supporters say the trail will improve property values and connectivity. "That's the objection. It has to do with privacy or fear of what will happen with strangers going past your house," a resident said, summarizing local concerns.
