Elmwood Park council adopts building‑access and stop‑sign ordinances
Summary
On June 12 the Elmwood Park Mayor and Council adopted three second‑reading ordinances: building access restrictions for the municipal building and new stop signs on two intersections. All three passed on final reading after public comment was opened and closed with no speakers.
The Elmwood Park Mayor and Council on June 12 adopted three ordinances on final reading that change municipal building access rules and add stop signs at two neighborhood intersections.
The council voted to adopt Ordinance 25‑11, which creates restricted areas to address municipal building access; Ordinance 25‑12, adding stop signs at Finsec Avenue/Bank Street; and Ordinance 25‑13, adding a stop sign at Elmwood Terrace at Glenwood Avenue. Each ordinance was opened for public comment and closed with no members of the public speaking; roll calls followed and the measures carried on final reading.
Mayor Coleti presided over the proceedings. Clerk Dean Shea read the second‑reading notices and called the roll before each vote. For each ordinance the council followed the same sequence: public portion opened and closed with no speakers, a motion to adopt, and a roll‑call vote recorded by the clerk. The meeting record shows the measures passed by majority vote.
Council President Lorraine Pellegreen noted the importance of routine traffic improvements and thanked the borough engineer for identifying intersections that needed additional signs. No motion amendments were recorded at the meeting.
The ordinances take effect according to the statutory schedule set out in the final ordinance language, and the clerk advertised the final hearing dates as required.
The council moved next to other business and the consent agenda.
