    Buses staged at Pace’s East Dundee garage facility, managed by Pace River Division. Pace’s existing River Division garage will be expanded to allow more space for services operating along I-90 and locally in Elgin and the surrounding area. 56 | page A-2 Capital Improvement Projects Initiative: Implement all Pace capital projects funded through Rebuild Illinois, and produce a Facilities Plan to determine how Pace facilities will be used to support other service plans and initiatives. Supports Goals: Equity, Productivity, Responsiveness, Safety, Environmental Stewardship, and Fiscal Solvency ACTION ITEM 1 Rebuild Illinois State Capital Program Illinois’s nearly $45 billion capital construction program, Rebuild Illinois, earmarks $2.6 billion for public transit, of which $228 million has been allocated for Pace. Metra and CTA also received a combined $240 million in earmarks for capital projects through this funding source. As transit riders often make connections between CTA, Metra and Pace services, investments for all three service boards are expected to help improve the quality of public transportation regionally. Capital funding from the state is in addition to separate sources of funding all three agencies receive. Additionally, Rebuild Illinois will allow new sources of annual revenues to fund capital projects, primarily through the Transportation Renewal Fund, which will reserve 18 percent of receipts towards public transportation projects in Northeastern Illinois. Pace is working with IDOT, RTA, CTA and Metra to ensure program funding is expended quickly, effectively, and equitably across the region.

  • Wapsi River Environmental Education Center “A Place for All Seasons”
    Wapsi River Environmental Education Center Dixon, Iowa “A Place For All Seasons” Field Trip Planner For schools, youth groups and other organizations Wapsi River Environmental Education Center 31555 52nd Avenue ~ Dixon, IA 52745 ~ (563) 328-3286 Dave Murcia, Center Director/Naturalist Scott County Conservation Board (563) 328-3286 Hello! The staff of the Wapsi River Environmental Education Center would like to welcome and invite you to take advantage of the environmental education opportunities at the Center. This beautiful area borders the Wapsipinicon River and is diverse in ecosystems and wildlife. The 225-acre Wapsi River Center is the result of the combined efforts of various organizations. The Center is owned, managed, and operated by the Scott County Conservation Board with programming assistance from area partners. The area was acquired through cooperation of the Clinton and Scott County Conservation Boards, the Quad City Conservation Alliance and the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. St. Ambrose University is also involved with the Center through the Monsignor Menke Astronomical Observatory, and are conducting biological field classes and special projects at the Center. These organizations have helped develop an area with numerous educational opportunities. The primary purpose of the Wapsi River Center is to provide environmental education. Programs for the public, schools and other groups are being held regularly at the Center. This planner will serve as a guide to plan a successful learning experience in the outdoors. Included in this planner are a history, a brief summary of the natural resources and facilities, and some tips on planning a field trip to the Center. This information may be used to plan environmental education programs with the naturalists, or it can be used alone by teachers or group leaders.

  • War of 1812 by Beth Carvey the Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War the War of 1812 Was a Significant Event in S
    War of 1812 by Beth Carvey The Sauk and Meskwaki and the War of 1812 Prelude to War The War of 1812 was a significant event in Sauk and Meskwaki history and also for many other native nations who resided along and near the Mississippi River. The War of 1812 was actually two wars: an international war fought between the United States and Great Britain in the east and an Indian war fought in the west. This article is the first of a four-part series which will explore the War of 1812 in terms of native peoples’ points of view, the military actions that occurred in the western frontier theater, and the consequences for the Sauk and Meskwaki that resulted from the American victory. In 1812 the western frontier was comprised of the Mississippi, Illinois, and Missouri River regions, encompassing parts of present-day Wisconsin, Illinois, and northwest Missouri. More than ten different native nations, including the Sauk and Meskwaki, lived on these lands with an estimated population of 25,000 people. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 the native people of the region had been growing increasingly unhappy with the United States. Four main reasons were at the heart of this unhappiness: arrogance and ignorance on the part of many American officials; illegal white settlement on native lands; a number of treaties that dispossessed tribes of their lands; and economic matters, specifically the fur trade. The Sauk and Meskwaki had poor relations with the United States government since the signing of the fraudulent Treaty of 1804, whereby the two nations ceded over 50 million acres of land to the United States.
