Dear President Pierotti and Commissioners of the Forest Preserve
District of DuPage County:
I am concerned with the proposed use of forest preserve land for the
new vehicle maintenance facility for the Forest Preserve District.
It just seems so practical to not take forest preserve land which is
limited and instead place a vehicle maintenance garage and complex
in an industrial or commercial setting. And you have a more
sustainable option with the many different now empty car/truck
dealers in DuPage County. I think it is a safe bet that they are not
going to be car/truck dealerships and maintenance facilities for any
new car or truck companies ever again.
So I am asking the forest preserve district to save the little
land we have as open space and be more sustainable in your
operations by converting an abandoned car/truck dealership along
Roosevelt Road or many other spots. Unfortunately there are many to
choose from.
