  1. My question would be what caused the DMD to go against the recommendations of Staff to put a Crew at that cluster of a location (38th & Illinois) with poorly timed traffic signals and already high traffic congestion?

    1. Probably the fact that the neighborhood organization supported the request, for some reason.

    2. Probably because there was a vacant CVS on the site; the normal “next tenant” for those is a dollar store and there are several of those already within a few blocks. So the vacant CVS was just going to stand there (next to the vacant BK) and deteriorate.
