Residents urge safety fixes on Hoover Avenue; State Historic Preservation Office flagged easement language
Summary
During public comment, a resident urged one‑side street parking on Hoover Avenue for safety, a second resident said the State Historic Preservation Officer identified erroneous language in a conservation easement for 130 Delafield Street, and several speakers thanked outgoing officials.
Three residents spoke during the April 9 public comment period. John Thomas, who said he lives at 134 Douglas, told the council that the western end of Hoover Avenue becomes unsafe when cars park on both sides because two vehicles cannot pass safely and children are exiting cars; he recommended the city consider one‑side‑of‑street parking, especially in the evening.
Lisa Sald (434 Madison Street) asked the council to note an email she received from Tricia Canaday, identified in Ms. Sald’s remarks as the State Historic Preservation Officer, saying that language in the conservation easement for 130 Delafield Street was erroneous and requesting that the city remove the incorrect language.
Tariq Akbuk thanked retiring aldermen Eric Payne and Dean Lemke and outgoing Mayor Sean Riley for their service, praised the city’s switch to Lake Michigan water and congratulated the incoming mayor, Alicia.
What happens next: Staff or the appropriate committee will respond to the Hoover Avenue parking concern and the clerk will record the conservation‑easement concern for follow‑up; the meeting record does not indicate immediate council action on either item.
