Letter to the Editor: Catherine Alice Gardens Proposal on Eric Drive

Letter to the Editor submitted by Edward Brien. 

Dear Editor,

I was one of those present at that meeting.

While I see a need for this housing, I oppose the location on Eric Street in Palatine.

The proposed area is not a safe area for unsupervised tenants who already have already have challenges with their world without asking them to navigate through a high-traffic industrial area.

This facility will be next to a very busy karate school that has children coming and going daily. It is a karate organization, but it is a school nonetheless. The front door of this high-density residence is only a few feet from the door of the dojo where hundreds of children, some as young as five, come every week.

I hope Palatine Village Council has the wisdom and the vision to say no to this location so that the builders can look elsewhere for a safe location.

Thank you for your time,　
Edward Brien
