The proposed installation of a McDonald's at the former Walgreens location on North Avenue and Mobile Avenue raised concerns within the community stretching from Division to Wabansia and from Austin to Narragansett in both Oak Park and Chicago. The potentially negative impact on the community, such as decreased property values, increased traffic, noise, trash, rodents, and disturbance, are major areas of concern. Furthermore, heavy traffic and truck usage could cause significant damage to the streets and environment. While these negative benefits outweigh the limited positives, this petition is created to demand that Alderman Taliaferro withhold support for McDonald's expansion into the area. We encourage you to sign this petition, even if the proposal is approved, to also show your support for a Community Benefits Agreement.

Thank you.
