City Council defers vote on apartment proposal

The Peoria City Council voted to defer action on a proposed 140-unit apartment complex to get more public input.  The River Trails Apartment project is proposed on city-owned parkland near the Riverplex by the Illinois River.  The city is looking to hold a public input meeting next week on the issue.  Supporters say the project is a nice addition to downtown Peoria.  Some expressed concern during the public comment period about the proposed site’s location near industrial buildings and use of public park land.
