Wal-Mart meeting tonight (April 12th); Curve Ball from the Village

We thought that the village board would take up the Sam's first. They threw us a curve ball by putting the Wal-Mart expansion on tonight's agenda (Tuesday, April 12th). The crazy thing is (1) Wal-Mart still has not done a traffic study on the proposal and (2) the village is not enforcing the current site plan. Wal-Mart had to do a traffic study four years ago. But for some reason it's not necessary this time. There is more traffic congestion near here copared to four years ago. Wal-Mart continues to take up more than 100 parking spaces to sell garden items. This is not allowed in the current site plan. Shouldn't the village enforce the current site plan before allowing a new one? Please come oppose this vote tonight at the village hall at 7 p.m.

Is Sam's Club on the Agenda tonight?

A traffic study was presented and the number of parking spaces exceeds that required by the Village even during summer usage.
