Board tables North Parking Lot ordinance pending state guidance on stall layout
Summary
An ordinance change about parking layout and signage along Shabbona's North Parking Lot was tabled while trustees seek written clarification from state engineers about whether parallel stalls can be painted under IDOT specifications.
Trustees discussed an amendment concerning parking configuration in the resurfaced North Parking Lot that was rebuilt to IDOT specifications. Staff said a state foreman indicated there was not room to mark parallel stalls along the building and warned the village could be held liable if lines encouraged unsafe backing maneuvers.
Given concerns about a handicapped driver having difficulty using an accessible space with vehicles parked alongside the building, trustees asked staff to request written confirmation from the state about allowable striping and to table the ordinance until that information is received.
