Resident raises safety concerns over E. Lawrence Street parking; council tables action
Summary
Resident Syl Cieslek told the council that vehicles regularly park in front of her house on E. Lawrence Street, narrowing the roadway and blocking sightlines; the council asked the police chief to contact Morgan Plaza management, decided to install signage and tabled the agenda item until next month for additional follow-up.
Syl Cieslek spoke during the agenda item on E. Lawrence Street parking, saying vehicles frequently park in front of her house — including in an area with yellow curbing — and that the narrow street leaves insufficient room for two-way traffic when cars are parked on both sides. She told the council that she cannot see oncoming traffic when backing out of her driveway and urged that Morgan Plaza residents use their parking lot instead of the street.
Mayor Richard Wnek asked Police Chief Schneider to contact the director at Morgan Plaza to seek ideas for resolving the issue. The council agreed to install a no‑parking sign at the location but tabled formal action on the item until next month to pursue follow‑up with Morgan Plaza and further consideration.
The transcript records the council’s decision to postpone the agenda item for one month; no ordinance or formal restriction on E. Lawrence Street was adopted at the Aug. 8 meeting.
