Carle wants city to vacate streets for expansion

URBANA – Whether the city should vacate portions of Coler and Busey avenues and Park Street to help make way for a major expansion of Carle Foundation Hospital will be up for debate by the city council on Monday night.

One alderman said he wants to make any city vacation of streets conditional upon Carle getting state approval to build the hospital addition – and a Carle official said Friday he could live with that.
