This petition is to let the Village of New Lenox and Providence High School know, the residents of Cherry Hill subdivision do NOT want a bus depot in our neighborhood.

The Village Planning commission has recommended approval to allow Providence to setup a Bus Depot at the entrance of Cherry Hill Subdivision via Ferro Road. This will go before the Mayor and Trustees on Feb 13, 2017, 7pm during the Village Board meeting. We need to let them know we oppose this re-zoning. We all need to attend the meeting to Voice and be heard on this issue. At the Planning commission meeting only 4 households attended. Now is our time to ask the questions what will happen to our subdivision. What will happen to our property values? What EPA testing has been done? How will the buses and semi tankers bringing gas to the depot, be handled in our entrance to our subdivision? Etc…..

Providence wants to park their 14+ buses at the corner of Gouger and Ferro Rd. They will access the depot from Ferro Rd. They want to install a "Modspace" office building on wheels and install a 2,500 gallon (6' x 15') above ground fuel tank.

Here is a detailed link to site plan.
