Residents in the Normal Station Neighborhood say the apartments will cause more traffic and congestion in the area. They say this is just the latest project that is changing character of the neighborhood and their quality of life. "I'm a big supporter of the university and its need to grow but it's taking the neighborhood away," said Melissa Galloway, resident.
