Comment EI-22226

[Rockford] Kishwaukee Road, where our farm is located, is an artery for the people living to the southwest of Rockford. It is heavily traveled by commuters as well as most of the emergency vehicles heading to the hospitals in Rockford. Cutting off Condon Road and then Kishwaukee would be a disaster! IF there are trains blocking the only two ways for us to get to town, we would have to drive down to Byron to get across the river and then up to Rockford on Rt. 2. This is a distance of over 26 miles compared to the 4 miles on Kishwaukee for us. Has any consideration to the lives and welfare of the residents been taken into affect?
