INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT/QUESTIONS
Mayor Mang asked if anyone wished to be heard.
Rebecca Shibrozy of 127 Lincoln Boulevard stated that she was a six and one half year resident of Kenmore and her son was struck by a car last week. Ms. Shibrozy and all her neighbors agree that the street is not as wide, approximately 3 feet less than it was prior to the reconstruction, and that the average car is seven feet wide.
Ms. Shibrozy added that most people park six inches to eight inches from the curb and motorists fly down the street. There is not really room for parking on both sides of the street. Ms. Shibrozy feels that alternate street parking is needed. The street demographic has changed over the last ten years and there are ninety plus children (71 between Eugene and Elmwood). Ms. Shibrozy also suggested lowering the speed limit to 25 miles per hour and to put up the “Children at Play” signs. She also suggested that the Police use their lights and sirens, especially during play times to better alert the children.
The Mayor thanked Ms. Shibrozy and told her that he would look into the problems.
As no one wished to be heard, the meeting was adjourned.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be October 4, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building.
Kathleen P. Johnson, Esq.
Village Clerk/Treasurer
