Crestwood to Restrict Tobacco Stores, Used Auto Dealerships (Crestwood, IL) — At the village board meeting held Thursday, May 19, 2022, all trustees were present with the exception of Trustee Caldario. Among the agenda items passed was an ordinance approving a text amendment to the zoning ordinance of the Village of Crestwood to regulate used car dealerships and retail tobacco stores.

Retail tobacco stores will be limited to 4 throughout the village. Additionally, smoking shall be prohibited inside all retail tobacco stores. Used vehicle sales businesses shall be limited in number to 26. The justification for these changes is that it is in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of the Village to regulate retail tobacco shops and used car dealerships.

May is Motorcycle Awareness Month

Mayor Ken Klein also proclaimed May 2022 as Motorcycle Awareness Month. The proclamation includes facts such as motorcycles reduce fuel consumption, road wear, and contribute to traffic relief and parking congestion. The proclamation also recognizes motorcyclists for contributing extensive volunteerism and money to charitable organizations. It urges all roadway users to unite in the safe sharing of roadways throughout the Village of Crestwood and the State of Illinois.  According to IDOT, Illinois has already had 20 motorcycle fatalities this year.
