Des Plaines officials have taken a step toward improving the appearance of a much-maligned corner in town by agreeing to purchase one of the offending properties.
The city will spend $225,000 to acquire Waldo's Auto Repair, 269 S. Des Plaines River Road. The city council approved the deal Monday night.
The properties, all in the 1st Ward, are on the east side of Des Plaines River Road, north of Rand Road. The buildings have no architectural uniformity or appeal. Their parking lots are sun-bleached, stained and cracked. Grassy areas near the roadway are small and patchy; one is overgrown. Weeds grow unchecked.
