Residents press Ford Heights board on Cottage Grove railing, potholes and billing
Summary
During public comment residents urged the village to follow up with Cook County on a removed railing at 13th and College, handed in a list of potholes, and raised concerns about billing and police presence on Cottage Grove/Route 30.
Multiple residents used the public-comment period to raise neighborhood maintenance and service concerns. One resident said a railing at 13th and College was removed by a truck and asked the board to contact Cook County because Cottage Grove is a county-maintained road. Another resident handed a list of 15–20 pothole locations for village staff to review.
A third speaker questioned City Hall billing procedures and urged officials to address collections and resident confusion. The mayor asked residents to leave any lists with the clerk and said staff would follow up with the county and relevant departments. No formal action was taken during the meeting; trustees acknowledged the issues and requested staff follow-up.
