Sheffield board approves parking blocks at Veterans Park after debate
Summary
Trustees approved installing rubber parking blocks at Veterans Park to prevent vehicles from driving onto grass. Motion passed 4-1-1 July 8, 2025 after debate about enforcement and judgment of offenders.
The board voted to install rubber parking blocks south of Veterans Park on Cook Street to prevent visitors from parking on the grass.
Superintendent Lanxon proposed the blocks as a physical measure to prevent vehicles from entering the park turf. Corwin moved, Taylor seconded the measure. Roll call showed AYES — Corwin, Price, Taylor, Yepsen; NAYS — Adams; ABSTAIN — Barry. The motion carried 4-1-1.
Trustee Adams said he did not want to facilitate poor judgment by offenders who "should know better," and Trustee Barry abstained after the roll call began. The minutes do not list the vendor or cost for the rubber blocks.
