Resident asks village to install ‘do not block mailbox’ sign after school events block mail delivery
Summary
A Bensenville resident, Torota Sadowska of 912 Bridal Court, told trustees that parents attending events at nearby Blackhawk Middle School regularly park in front of her home, blocking mail delivery and causing garbage pickup problems; she requested a sign be installed 10 feet from her mailbox.
During public comment, resident Torota Sadowska of 912 Bridal Court described recurring problems with parents parking during Blackhawk Middle School events and said the blocked street access has prevented the mail carrier from delivering her mail and made garbage pickup difficult when two trucks arrive on the same day.
Sadowska said she had spoken with the postmaster and several village officials without a remedy and presented "Exhibit A," a proposed sign reading "please do not block the mailbox." She asked the board to allow public works to install the sign 10 feet from her mailbox. The board did not debate the request publicly during the meeting; the item was presented during public comment for staff follow-up.
