Forest Park district opposes south suburban postal move
Forest Park School District 91 opposes the proposed south suburban postal facility on Roosevelt Road due to overcrowding and safety concerns. Supt Arthur Jones cites half day kindergarten at Grant White and Betsy Ross and planned fifth grade moves, plus traffic around the site potentially increasing hazards for students. A postal service environmental impact statement estimates 100 to 180 employees may relocate nearby, with enrollment and traffic impacts discussed, though the exact numbers for Forest Park remain uncertain.
