Map of Proposed Casey Convenience and Nearby Residences

Additional Information of Area:

People of Peru and the IV were aware that a Casey’s wants to be built at the corner of Rt. 251 and Shooting Park so many who don’t live in that area might think who cares it’s not near my house. The proposed zoning change does not just relate to this B2 zoned parcel of land. If the language of the B2 ordinance is amended then it changes all B2 zoning to include a Casey’s or the like. This is a zoning map of Peru. The Red area is currently zoned B2. This area is northeast of a very beautiful and expensive residential area of Peru. provided by Julie Ajster.

This is going to affect not only the nearby residences and make the area less desirable as a residential area. Actually rather surprised that the city of Peru is not on the side of the voters especially since their will be an Aldermanic election next April.

Traffic is down on 251 and many weekends you can look in back and in front of you traveling on 251 and see no one and very few waiting at the stop light at Shooting Pk Rd. Since this is primarily a route for local traffic, it means that fewer people are no coming through because there are fewer shopping areas, perhaps.
