Resident raises parking concerns for Olde Palos business district
Summary
Resident Michael VanderWheele urged the council to address parking in the Olde Palos business district and asked whether the city could acquire privately owned parking lots; the mayor said that is not allowed.
During the public-comment portion of the Jan. 20 meeting, resident Michael VanderWheele of 12205 South Nagle Avenue told the council parking is the biggest issue in Olde Palos business-district planning and asked whether the city could take privately owned parking lots to address the problem.
Mayor Robert Straz responded that acquiring those privately owned lots is not allowed. The minutes record VanderWheele’s concern and the mayor’s reply but do not show public testimony beyond that exchange.
The comment was recorded during the public-comment period; the council did not take immediate action or direct staff on the matter during the meeting minutes.
