The Homewood Committee Meeting held on September 8, 2025, began with a roll call confirming the presence of all council members. The meeting commenced with a motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes from the previous public service committee meeting on August 4, which was approved unanimously.
One of the key agenda items discussed was the proposal to replace a loading zone with a no parking zone in the Edgewood Business District. This change involves converting a white curb next to Odie's into a yellow curb, indicating no parking. Additionally, a yellow curb will be added on the southern side of Stewart, adjacent to the parking lot. This decision was prompted by recent incidents where emergency services were hindered due to vehicles obstructing the street, making it impassable.
Following this discussion, the committee addressed a request to clear surplus property at 183220 Ninth Avenue South, the former police station. A motion was made to remove this item from the agenda, which was seconded and passed without opposition, effectively dropping the matter.
With no further agenda items to discuss, the meeting concluded promptly. The council's actions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and improve traffic management in the community.
