Money Thoughts, Closing Doors and Long Plans: The Main Street Triangle Central

Orland Park Patch is reporting, gathering and presenting the many aspects of the village's bid to create a walkable downtown, and who has won and lost in the process.

The summer of 2011 was busy for the Main Street Triangle area.

and the Plaza Café closed their doors. The village introduced plans for the Ninety 7 Fifty on the Park luxury apartment complex.

Construction continues on 143rd Street and LaGrange Road, with traffic plans changing often. Cars and construction vehicles continue to compete for a small slice of road leading in and out of the Orland Plaza parking lot.

Despite the obstructions, people still shop at the remaining stores.

Meanwhile, a Cook County judge will soon hear objections to the settlement between the village and plaza landowner filed by present and past tenants.

The financing plans for the apartment complex have caused a stir, and the Orland Park Village Board will vote on that plan Monday night.   

Mention the Triangle anywhere in town and a firm view on the situation still follows.
