Opposition to the proposed Illiana Expressway helped propel Lowell town councilman John Alessia, Jr. into office, reports the Post-Tribune.
“One of the big things I will be addressing is the Illiana Toll Road,” Alessia said of his goals for his first term in office. He said he is against a proposal to build a toll road coming through Lowell.
“We (Lowell residents) should have some say. An overwhelming majority are against it,” he said.
