Trustees have given the initial go-ahead to a controversial redevelopment project on South Addison Avenue planned by the DuPage Easter Seal’s Rosalie Dold Center for Children and its joint-venture partner, United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Chicago.
DuPage Easter Seal, which has been using the former Madison School since 1984 as an outpatient treatment center for screening and treating the physically disabled, wants to build a 31,000-square-foot facility just north of its current building. Then, the existing, 23,000-square-foot building would be demolished.
The new facility would benefit the DuPage Easter Seal-United Cerebral Palsy joint venture, which provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, audiological services, early intervention and child care services.
About 40 neighbors turned out Monday to protest possible increased traffic and storm-water drainage problems.
