Residents urge leash enforcement, road paving checks and safety fixes at public comment
Summary
Public commenters asked the council to post larger 'No Dogs' signs at the beach, check paving over newly installed drywells, confirm public access to courts funded by a Pokagon Grant, repaint or remove speed bumps for safety, restore posted pickleball rules, and place additional buoys near beach stops 41.5 and 42.
Several residents raised distinct quality-of-life and safety concerns during the meeting's public-comment period.
Roxanne Martino described an incident involving unleashed dogs at the beach and Pam Schutt asked whether a larger 'No Dogs on beach' sign could be installed. Linda Stein asked whether roads where new drywells were installed would be paved. Dr. Lome asked whether courts paid in part by the Pokagon Grant are open to everyone; the council replied with the parking and access discussion recorded earlier. Holly Duran and Karen Summer urged that speed bumps be repainted or removed for visibility and safety after past falls; Karen Hardy asked whether posted pickleball rules would be reinstalled. Megan Schmollinger asked for extra buoys near stops 41.5 and 42 to improve water safety.
Council members received the comments and recorded staff follow-ups; specific timelines and staff responses were not fully detailed in the public record.
