The proposal to replace the Smog-N-Go with a drive-thru Starbuck is back in front of CPAC on March 1st. Included in this proposal is the assumption that a u-turn at the Fair Oaks/Bridge St/Howard St intersection will soon be legal and encouraged. Think for a moment what that will do for safety and traffic flow entering and existing the village.

I am happy to report that last night the Fair Oaks CPAC voted to recommend the Starbucks proposal be rejected. My thanks to the many residents and business owners who attended the meeting to voice their opinions, which clearly resonated with the CPAC Board members. There were many reasons cited for rejecting this proposal but ultimately the key factor cited was the dangerous traffic issues created by the addition of hundreds of cars per day to the Village.
