Residents oppose new truck stop construction

How is this any different than small town America not allowing tattoo parlors, dispensaries, or strip clubs?

 

Maybe the locals don't like the smell of pee , the sight of trash and the sound of straight pipes .
I wouldn't want some of these degenerate , don't give a dam slobs in my neighborhood either .

 

at those places...you don't see many, if any at all big rigs, and pee bottles.??

nor the rancid exhaust for a truck..??

or the noises..??

 

well, as i see it...there are 4 other directions they can go from there...

1) north,

2) south

3) east

4) west.

or.......

the next state..???

 

1)From Wisconsin
2)From Central or Southern Illinois
3)In the drink(Lake Michigan)
4)From Western Illinois!

 

Or the guy getting off the exit at 11:30pm that just has to let everyone know his jakes work.
If it is such a wealthy community I'm surprised it's even being considered. City councils seem so out of touch with their cities.

 

If this was anywhere near an industrial area, convenient to an interstate, or on a major truck thru route - I would agree with you.

However, this location has no need of ANY type of fuel station, truck or otherwise.



This is the lot. I have no idea how far into the trees the proposed lot goes, but even if it's the entire wooded lot it wouldn't be much of a truck stop. At best it would be something like the Thortons 5 miles away.



The lot on the south side is pay to park, anything over 15 minutes.

This is an attempt to profit off of trucks without providing for their needs.

Now if either of these lots wanted to become a truck stop and residents tried to block it - forget them, build baby build.

 

It’s convenient to an interstate-the I-55 interchange is about 5 minutes north of the location. Route 83 itself is a major north-south highway artery.

 

Well, even the city has to follow state and federal laws. Would not surprise me there are laws about it must be debated or whatever before the counsel so it's on public record.
