Traffic the result if mall is OK'd
I saw in the Feb. 14th Herald how Long Grove is pondering the Sunset Grove shopping mall at Aptakisic and Route 83.
I hope this plan will be shelved until traffic in that area has improved.
Traffic from Route 83, Aptakisic, Arlington Heights Road, McHenry Road, Old Hicks Road, and Robert Parker Coffin are all funneled through that short strip of road along Route 83. The Route 53 extension through Long Grove has long been opposed, and now they want to build a shopping mall right at the main bottleneck through that area?
As the saying goes, "You can't stop progress," so if they want their strip mall, it's time to employ the eminent domain provision and finally get the Route 53 extension approved.
