Burr Ridge Truck Stop Plan Withdrawn: County

BURR RIDGE, IL – QuikTrip has withdrawn its proposal for a truck stop just outside Burr Ridge's boundaries, according to DuPage County zoning department.

This follows a Burr Ridge Village Board meeting on Monday in which many neighbors opposed the project. The Village Board voted unanimously to stick to its opposition.

The truck stop was planned for southwest of 91st Street and Route 83.

DuPage County's Zoning Board of Appeals was set to hold a hearing on the project Thursday, but it was canceled. The county has not received official notice from the company, but it has been told about the withdrawal informally, a county spokeswoman said.

Sometimes companies resubmit applications with significant changes after withdrawing them.

Near the end of Monday's meeting, QuikTrip's Andrew Smith offered to remove the diesel pumps from the proposal – in other words, making it a gas station, not a truck stop.

He said the majority of QuikTrip's locations do not have such pumps.

Smith could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday morning.

In a statement Wednesday, the village said that DuPage County indicated QuikTrip has no plan to pursue alternate types of gas stations on this site.
