Blue Island voters supported limiting the number of gaming cafes, but were split on whether to make Western Avenue a two-way street between 127th Street and Grove Street in nonbinding advisory referendums Tuesday.

The city reached its cap on gaming cafes, Bilotto said, but with frequent requests from business owners and developers to open new ones, the City Council sought community feedback before considering expansion.
“In this case, voters sent a clear message that they don’t have a desire for new gaming cafes,” Bilotto wrote in a statement to the Daily Southtown.
