Resident says cars parked at Walnut/Northmoor are a safety hazard; police to follow up
Summary
At the March 18 Jerseyville council meeting resident Pat Ritter urged enforcement of parking near the Walnut/Northmoor intersection, calling it a safety hazard; Chief Blackorby said officers had towed a vehicle and would follow up.
