Village considers alternate-side parking and eased sidewalk snow rules; drafting of revised ordinances requested
Summary
Chief Small recommended alternate-side parking with signage this winter and formal enforcement next winter; the board asked the chief, Clerk Atterbury and the village attorney to draft revised snow-removal and parking ordinances for future review.
The board discussed proposals to loosen sidewalk snow-removal strictness and to adopt an alternate-side parking scheme to better align Bloomington with neighboring municipalities. Chief Small recommended installing signs this year for alternate-side parking, with formal enforcement to begin next winter to give residents time to adjust.
Board members asked Chief Small to work with Clerk Atterbury and the village attorney to draft revised snow-removal and parking ordinances for consideration at a future meeting. The board also approved temporarily turning off comments on the village Facebook page while staff coordinate communications and enforcement details.
