Residents press township on missing trail stop signs and neglected property; officials advise filing complaints and will contact trail managers
Summary
During public comment, residents asked the township to help get stop signs placed on the Armstrong Trail crossings at Godfrey and to address a potentially inhabitable neglected property; officials directed residents to file complaints with the zoning officer and said they will contact trail managers for signage.
Residents raised two safety and nuisance concerns during the public-comment portion: missing stop signs where trails cross roads and a severely neglected property some called inhabitable.
"It's Stacy Stepanek," one commenter said when asked for a name, and residents described a lack of stop signs on trail crossings near Godfrey and Shenley. Multiple speakers asked the township to request signage from Armstrong Trails and the board said it will reach out to trail managers and follow up. On property complaints, staff advised filing a zoning complaint; the board noted the zoning officer has previously issued citations and will follow up on cleanup and potential condemnation options.
Township staff committed to contacting Armstrong Trails about signs for both sides of the crossing and to work with the zoning officer on the neglected-property complaint.
