Applying the Points of Concurrency

Use the points of concurrency to find points of interest in Skokie.

The Skokie Police Department wants to open a new station in Skokie. The current Skokie Police department is stationed on Touhy and Niles Center Road but there is no police station easily accessible to Skokie Hospital, Old Orchard Shopping Center, and Weber Park. Therefore, they are looking to build a station that is equidistant from these three locations. At which intersection should they build the new station?

Red Mango would like to build a new location. They took a poll of where their customers drive from and noticed that the common intersections were Skokie Blvd and Golf, and Church St and Skokie Blvd, and I-94 and Church St. They would like to build this new location at a point that is equidistant from both Church St and Skokie Blvd. Where should they build the new location? Is this a good location to build? Why or why not?
