Resident warns portable basketball hoops in streets create hazards
Summary
A Dunkirk resident said portable basketball hoops placed near or in streets have caused at least one lane blockage and could create liability if collisions occur; he asked the council what can be done.
Wayne Stilinski, of 411 Plover Street, addressed the council about portable basketball hoops placed in roadways and on curbs, saying they present a safety hazard. He reported an incident last week when a hoop blew over and blocked a lane, forcing a school bus to go around it, and asked who would be liable in the event of an accident.
The council heard the public concern during the privilege-of-the-floor period; no formal referral or ordinance was recorded in the transcript, though the issue raises potential enforcement and public-safety questions for staff to consider.
