Resident asks Oak Park to add greenbelt behind homes to regular maintenance
Summary
Tori Webster told council the greenbelt alley behind homes on Greenbrier is overgrown, said code enforcement cited staffing shortages and asked that the city include the strip in routine maintenance rather than expect residents to manage it.
Tori Webster (14231 Greenbrier) told the council that a long greenbelt alley behind her home has not been maintained for years and that, when she filed a Citizens Action Center request, a code enforcement officer suggested she or neighbors should handle it because the city is short‑staffed. Webster said she could not access the area from her property and asked the city to schedule regular maintenance when parks and corridor trimming are performed.
Webster said the condition had forced her to replace a fence and that she did not find the city's response acceptable; she asked staff to put the greenbelt on a routine maintenance list. Council members acknowledged the comment and did not provide a detailed on‑record resolution during the public comment period.
