The Stearns Rd bridge project appears done, at least as far as the IPP is concerned.  I took the IPP north to Elgin today.  At Stearns & Dunham there's nothing but fresh asphalt bike trails in all directions for as far as the eye can see.

A new trail to the east takes you to the Phillips FP complex.  To the west is the new bike bridge across the Fox River.  Technically the bridge is still closed if only by the presence of the 3-foot wooden barracade.

In a word: stunning.  I haven't been this emotional since Charlton Heston came down from Mt Sinai.

The Events Calendar shows an opening ceremony for Dec 15th.  I think I'm gonna be sick that day.
