Roselle moves to buy former Trinity site, repeals vehicle sticker ordinance and adopts low‑speed electric vehicle rules
Summary
The village approved purchase of 210–220 E. Elm Street (former Trinity Care Center site), repealed its vehicle‑sticker ordinance, and adopted a new low‑speed electric vehicle ordinance.
The Village of Roselle on June 23 approved an ordinance to acquire real property at 210–220 East Elm Street (the former Trinity Care Center site), repealed the municipal vehicle‑sticker ordinance, and adopted a new ordinance regulating low‑speed electric vehicles.
Nut graf: The property acquisition places a vacant parcel adjacent to the Roselle Library District parking lot under village ownership once demolition of the former Trinity building is complete; the vehicle‑sticker repeal removes the village’s longstanding sticker requirement; and the low‑speed electric vehicle ordinance establishes local rules for operation and enforcement.
Trustee Trejo moved the ordinance authorizing the property purchase; the motion passed on roll call. The board also adopted an ordinance repealing Chapter 10, Article XX (vehicle stickers) and adopted updated low‑speed electric vehicle regulations to provide enforceable local rules for e‑bikes and similar devices. Trustees said the low‑speed vehicle rules are intended to give police clear tools to address concerns and noted ordinances can be updated as experience dictates.
Staff noted the purchased parcel will be included in ongoing discussions about municipal property use once demolition is complete; no demolition timetable was approved at the meeting.
