Resident requests consistent festival parking enforcement and traffic study around St. Charles School

Val Wisniewski, who lives on Ransom Road, thanked the village for previous temporary no-parking cones during the St. Charles Festival and asked the board to continue the practice this year and to enforce restrictions consistently. Wisniewski asked the village to consider extending similar temporary parking restrictions to major church services such as Christmas and Easter, saying that during last Easter cars parked on both sides of the street and impeded traffic, at one point preventing a police vehicle from passing. "Had temporary parking controls been in place, I think a situation like this or future situations like this could be avoided," she said. She also requested a parking or traffic study for the subdivision because there are only two or three exits and traffic becomes difficult when nearby schools are in session. "Having lived here for 25 years, I've seen a significant growth in both the schools but no meaningful changes in...traffic signage or controls," she said. Wisniewski asked that temporary restrictions be consistently enforced during the upcoming festival so signs and rules are effective.
