PROSPECT Jeffrey Wulbecker, Village Engineer, addressed the Village Board with
MANOR, results of recent meetings between Village staff and residents of the
WALNUT ST. Prospect Manor/VValnut Street vicinity. Several meetings have been
PARKING held in recent months to resolve the parking problems caused primarily
by employees and customers of businesses along Northwest Highway,
particularly Sophie's Polish Deli at 418 W. Northwest Highway, and
J.C. Licht Paint Company at 500 W. Northwest Highway.
Several residents and business owners expressed their concerns and
offered suggestions for the parking situation, with much opposition to
the parking plans suggested by Mr. Wulbecker, among them being the
widening of Walnut Street, and parking restrictions on Prospect Manor.
The owner of Sophie's Deli stated that while pleased that hers is a
successful operation, she realizes the negative impact on the
community that is being created by the lack of sufficient parking
spaces; she asked the Village Board for suggestions to alleviate the
parking problems. Trustee Hoefert suggested that she meet with
members of the Community Development staff to discuss, as a last
resort, possibly relocating her business within the Village.
Mr. Wulbecker emphasized that in addition to the problem of parking
on Walnut Street and Prospect Manor, there is also the problem of
emergency vehicle and resident driveway access.
After a rather lengthy discussion, it was suggested by Board members
that this matter be continued at a future Board meeting, following
another joint meeting of business owners, homeowners, and Village
staff.
Mr. Janonis encouraged all interested parties to attend as many of the
meetings related to this problem as possible, and stressed the merit of
citizens' input at such meetings.
A Resolution was presented which would authorize the Village to
LIBRARY extend a line of credit to the Mount Prospect Public Library to cover
LINE OF short term cash flow problems caused by the late issuance of property
CREDIT tax bills.
RES. Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Nocchi, moved for approval of
NO. 45-98 Resolution No. 45-98:
Page 5 - September 15, 1998
