A RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS

WHEREAS, a McDonald's restaurant has been proposed on Dundee Road,
south of Buffalo Grove High School in the Village of Arlington Heights; and,
WHEREAS, most of the surrounding area is within the Village of
Buffalo Grove; and,
WHEREAS, traffic on Dundee Road at this location exceeds 30,000
vehicles per day; and,
WHEREAS, the intersection of Dundee Road and Arlington Heights
Road experiences the highest number of traffic accidents in the Village; and,
WHEREAS, fast food restaurants near this intersection will only act
to increase this accident rate; and,
WHEREAS, fast food restaurants will cause large numbers of high
school students to cross Dundee Road; and,
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove predicts that its Police
Department will be adversely impacted by increased calls for service arising
from anticipated accidents in the area as a result of the proposed fast food
restaurants.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS as follows:
SECTION 1. Fast food restaurants are inappropriate at this proposed

SECTION 2. The Plan Commission and Board of Trustees of the Village
of Arlington Heights should deny the request for a special use to construct
these restaurants at this location.

prohibit left turns in and out in order to eliminate additional traffic congestion
and hazards on Dundee Road and to prevent removal of the existing landscaped
median which is maintained by the Village of Buffalo Grove. As an alternative,

Arlington Heights Road through an existing 33' dedicated right of way at
the rear of the parcel.
