I am a resident of Roscoe Village, Chicago, and I have witnessed firsthand the dangerous activities associated with patrons of the Bluelight Bar located at 3251 N Western Ave. A shooting occurred right at School and Western ave, with bullets piercing through a store window across the street. Two years ago, there was a murder at Claremont and School streets involving bar patrons.

The bar has been linked to numerous incidents including murder, shootings, drug-related activities, fights, littering, public disturbances and noise pollution. The people frequenting this establishment are not from our community and their actions do not reflect the values we uphold in Roscoe Village.

Our neighborhood deserves peace and safety. We need our alderman Scott Waugespac to take action against this establishment that is causing harm to our community. We also need permit parking implemented in the area and increased police presence during closing hours of the bar to ensure public safety.

By signing this petition you are standing up for a safer Roscoe Village free from violence and disturbances caused by irresponsible establishments like Bluelight Bar. Please sign this petition today!
