Residents ask Northfield to install No Parking signs on May Avenue, seek fence replacement near 199 Ledge
Summary
Two residents raised public complaints at the May 24 council meeting: Carol Williams asked when No Parking signs would be installed on May Avenue due to blind-spot parking, and Carole Bressman requested a replacement fence and cleanup of items at the 199 Ledge Service Department property; council and staff pledged follow-up action.
Two Northfield residents used the public-comment portion of the Village council meeting on May 24 to press for immediate action on neighborhood safety and property maintenance.
Carol Williams of 183 May Avenue asked when No Parking signs would be installed on May Avenue, saying cars continue to park in blind spots near the top of the hill and that a radar patrol cruiser had been parked in a blind spot during enforcement. Service Department Superintendent Jason Walters told Williams he had spoken to her before the meeting and provided an answer about sign installation; the minutes indicate the new No Parking signs are in and will be mounted soon according to an engineer-prepared placement map.
Carole Bressman of 9020 Milford complained about items visible from her backyard at the 199 Ledge Service Department property and asked whether the Village could replace a fence that had been knocked down by wind. Mayor Jenn Domzalski and Jason Walters said they considered the complaint valid, that a meeting is scheduled to discuss a new fence and that the items will be removed promptly.
The council did not take formal votes during public comment but the Service Department committed to immediate cleanup at 199 Ledge and to installing an 8-foot privacy fence in that area; the minutes record that property-maintenance code enforcement and grass-violation follow-up are ongoing.
Those seeking follow-up should monitor Service Department scheduling; the minutes indicate placement of No Parking signs will follow an engineer-prepared map and enforcement actions for property-code violations continue.
