During public comment at The Village May 5 meeting, the presiding official relayed resident complaints about a recent Sunday marathon when police prevented people from crossing streets between roughly 7:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Several worshippers and residents reported difficulty accessing church services and local streets.
The presiding official said residents were "really upset" that access had been limited, and suggested placing signs a week in advance at entry points and encouraging neighborhood reminders, including posts on Facebook, to warn residents who need Sunday morning access. The official also noted that in past years some residents were able to "sneak through" gaps but that police enforcement this year was stricter.
There was no formal agenda item tied to the comment and the transcript does not show a council response, a staff follow-up direction, or any vote. The transcript also includes repeated lines that appear to be transcription artifacts.
