For watchers of the planned Chicago casino, a list of demands this week by the River North Residents Association is worth keeping an eye on.

According to Sun-Times reporters Fran Spielman and Mitchell Armentrout, the group hit the city – and casino operator Bally’s – with a series of proposed changes aimed at making the gaming center planned for the already traffic-congested intersection of Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street a better fit for their neighborhood.

Among the biggest suggested items: The group wants an eastbound exit ramp and westbound entrance ramp built, connecting Bally’s River West casino directly to the Kennedy Expressway’s Ohio-Ontario feeder.
