BURR RIDGE, IL – Neighbors of a trucking hub in Burr Ridge are upset with the noise and lights put up in December. They brought up their concerns at Monday's Village Board meeting. The neighbors are in the Chestnut Hills townhome subdivision. They are north of the Saia LTL Freight hub, which is along Interstate 55. The residents said the lights violated a years-old agreement when the village annexed the industrial property. They also said the problem likely happened because personnel had changed at the local site. Chestnut Hills resident John Summers spoke of the "rather idyllic view" of the wetlands between Saia and the subdivision. "Then the lights of Wrigley Field appeared and have changed the view in the evenings," he said. He urged the village to speak with Georgia-based Saia. "Give them a little religion," he said. "Remind them that there was an agreement in place." Resident Donna Ryan, who heads the subdivision's association, said the hub's noise has increased a lot. She suggested a sound barrier. "Right now, we have a fence that's wood, and it really doesn't reduce the sound at all," Ryan said. "It really is for screening." Village Administrator Evan Walter said Saia has been responsive to the village about the lights. "The lights are going to get fixed in the next few weeks. I just can't give you an exact date," he said. "They're aware it's impactful. I've seen it with my own eyes." He said the village would work more with neighbors on the light issue.» Mehr auf patch.com
