Roselle resident questions removal of driveway delineators; code enforcement says markers were in public right-of-way
Summary
Cindy Rabando of Banbury Court asked the board why fluorescent driveway delineators were removed after a resident complaint. Village staff said the markers were in the public right-of-way, that Public Works did not place them, and that code enforcement removed them after notifying residents; staff offered follow-up contact.
Cindy Rabando of Banbury Court addressed the board during public comment to ask why thin fluorescent driveway delineators her household had used for years were removed after a March citation. Rabando said the markers helped drivers avoid ditches in a dark cul-de-sac and that other Roselle properties use rocks, flags and posts in parkways.
Village staff said the delineators in question were placed along the public right-of-way and were therefore removed after a resident complaint triggered an investigation. A code enforcement officer told Rabando the village confirmed Public Works had not installed the markers and that staff notified residents before removal. The officer said delineators at driveway corners are common for snow-removal and landscaping but that markers placed along the entire length of a street in the public right-of-way are not permitted.
Staff offered to have the code enforcement officer follow up with Rabando directly to explain the citation and the rules that applied to that location. The board did not take formal action on the item; staff said they would apply the policy consistently across the village and encouraged residents to share contact information for follow-up.
