Leaders with Bally's laid out plans Tuesday night for the temporary casino location at the Medinah Temple in River North.
Traffic congestion and safety those were just some of the concerns Tuesday night from people who are against the new Bally's casino coming to Chicago.
As CBS 2's Charlie De Mar reported, Chicago Police said they have already begun working with security at Bally's for the temporary site. Meanwhile, a traffic consulting firm hired by the city said the casino will not add much moreBut concerns about the issues persist. Rideshare cars, parking spots, and large buses would be dropping off and picking up people – which many worry would add to the congestion in River North. That concern was a major focus of the discussion – and a personal issue for Larry McCarthy, who lives near Medinah Temple and opposes the casino.
"Suffice to say there is plentiful parking in the area within easy walking distance," Tim Doron, senior traffic consultant for Fish Transportation Group, said at the meeting."I do support the casino. We need revenue," she said."I say congestion is a part of living in Chicago. The tradeoff to me is the revenue that it will generate and the jobs that it will generate.
