Impact analysis
24-hour operations could add jobs and convenience, but the alderwoman says late hours fuel the crime complaints driving neighborhood walks.
If plans improve, residents near Villard Avenue could see less loitering; the operators keep a path to their licenses.
Neighbors living above and beside the station have endured loitering, public defecation, and violence at the lot.
