Attention: Mr. Keith Sherman, Chief
Planning and Systems Section
Dear Ms. Wheeler:
Subject: Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic
Byway (MGRSB) and the
De-designation Request from Green County
This is a follow up to our letter of August
2, 2002 approving your request of July 24, 2002 to de-designate
the following segments of the MGRSB: (1) the Eldred Road from
the Jersey/Green County line to the southern limits of the village
of Eldred, and (2) Illinois 108 from the northwestern limits
of the village of Eldred to the Kampsville Ferry landing at the
Illinois River in Green County.
As a result of our August 2, 2002 de-designation,
the Villages of Eldred in Green County and Kampsville in Calhoun
County were disconnected and isolated from the remainder of the
MGRSB. Accordingly, we made the preliminary decision to also
de-designate Eldred and Kampsville; however, we deferred our
final decision on this matter pending an opportunity for your
office to submit possible solutions to this dilemma. Since no
solutions have been offered, our decision to also de-designate
Eldred and Kampsville is now final. The MGRSB north of the Jersey/Green
County line is now completely de-designated.
Sincerely,
Don R. Keith
Division Right of Way Manager
