Update: At a Special Meeting on April 23, 2018, the Library District's Board of Trustees voted to cease negotiations with the Village of Barrington relating to the proposed realignment of Lake Zurich Road and related Intergovernmental Agreement. Details on that meeting.
The Barrington Public Library District Board of Trustees continues to research and discuss a proposed Intergovernmental Agreement with the Village of Barrington, relating to the re-routing of Lake Zurich Road to intersect with U.S. Route 14 (Northwest Highway) at the existing traffic signal at Berry Road. This proposed Intergovernmental Agreement includes the permanent sale of a parcel of Library District land of more than 2.5 acres from the Library to the village for highway purposes, as well as a request for additional Library District land of more than 2.5 acres to be used as a temporary construction easement for the length of time of construction.
