Website unveiled for Fox River Water Trail Group looks to get word out about new initiative
Organizers recently unveiled the Fabulous Fox! River Water Trail website in an effort to tout the recreational opportunities associated with the river corridor in the area. The Core Development Team, representing Wisconsin and Illinois, was present at a summit in Burlington, Wisconsin, last month to raise the curtain on a new website with interactive segment maps of the over 200-mile water trail. Visitors will find an overview of the water trail from its headwaters in Waukesha, Wisconsin, to its confluence with the Illinois River in Ottawa, Illinois, according to the development team. Paddlers planning an excursion can find access site descriptions, river miles, hazards, dams and portages, as well as amenities such as drinking water, shelter, restroom and picnic facilities, and boat rentals. The site will also include links to the area tourism entities to help paddlers with dining, shopping, and lodging information and a schedule of events and activities for a full planning resource. The development team also shared the new brochure, which
tells the story of the trail development with a map and features of the trail. The team is planning to enlist a distribution company to stock tourist outlets such as hotels, transportation hubs, and attractions along the Milwaukee-Chicago corridor. Funding needed The team is seeking funding for the distribution of 50,000 brochures. Donations can be sent to Karen Miller, Illinois co-chairwoman, at 719 S. Batavia Ave., Geneva, IL 60134 Tom Slawski, development team member and organizer of the Fox River Summit wrote a successful grant proposal to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Surface Waters Grant to create the website and printed materials educating the public about the Fox River, the water trail, and stewardship of the river. To distinguish the trail from the Wisconsin Fox River, the team chose the alliterative Fabulous Fox River Water Trail to name the trail. Under the guidance of Angie Tornes of the National Park Service’s Rivers, Trails, and

engagement workshops in six locations along the river trail in the spring and summer. Locations and dates will be announced soon on the website and through local media outlets. The workshops, open to the public, will invite all interested parties to view the maps, the access sites, and segment descriptions and offer feedback. The
team will be looking for data that may have been missed and suggestions for improvements as the team prepares a gap analysis. Years in the making The water trail initiative began as a spark of interest at a Fox River Summit several years ago when

Police urge motorists to follow Move Over Law With a recent surge in
crashes involving ISP troopers, Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois State Police (ISP) are urging motorists to respect the Move Over Law and use caution when approaching emergency vehicles on interstates and roads. So far in 2019, 14 ISP troopers have been struck by vehicles when they were pulled over to respond to highway incidents with their emergency lights activated. The tragic death of Trooper Christopher Lambert is among the 14 incidents, which far exceeds last year’s total of eight troopers. Also known as “Scott’s Law,” the Move Over Law was enacted in 2002 in memory of Lieutenant Scott Gillen of the Chicago Fire Department. LT Gillen was struck and killed on December 23, 2000, by an intoxicated driver on the Dan Ryan Expressway while assisting at a crash scene. The Move Over Law requires motorists to approach with caution and yield to emergency vehicles, including highway maintenance vehicles displaying oscillating, rotating or flashing lights. Drivers must change lanes if they can do so safely or reduce speed and proceed with caution if unable to change lanes.
