Residents in the Blackstone Trails subdivision in Normal are opposed not only with the town’s plan to build a new fire station there, which would improve response times, but also a change in building strategies the developer is requesting first. The Pantagraph reports about 40 residents told Normal Planning Commission on Thursday they don’t want a shift from family homes to smaller units at Blackstone Trails as well as the future fire station at the northeast corner of Hershey and Shepard roads. Residents voiced concerns about increased vehicle traffic and similar-looking properties if the subdivision developer is allowed to reduce the size of future lots and decides to pack in more homes.
