Referring to a diagram of photographs she took of the property in question and the area surrounding it, Hehr said there is a school-bus stop directly across the street from the property in question. At this bus stop, Hehr continued, there is no sidewalk area, so children must stand and wait in the street for their ride to school in the mornings. Hehr claimed that there is more appropriate industrial property suited for the business, away from this residential area and nearby. In response to Stupegia's inquiry, Villa Park Community Development Department Assistant Director Audra Hamernik said that it is not necessary for the village to refer the matter to the Traffic and Safety Commission. It should be the whole thing or nothing.
Annexation solves the whole problem.
