• High-Priced Burr Ridge Development Opposed By Neighbors (patch.com) — A major 16-home, age-targeted subdivision proposed at 6191 S. County Line Road in Burr Ridge is drawing strong pushback from nearby residents over traffic, drainage, and higher density. The $2.7 million homes could add about $864,000 annually to local taxing bodies, and the Plan Commission will take public input at a hearing Monday, 7 p.m., at Gower Middle School.
