Resident Dwight Bendel explained that a trailer has been parked in a handicap parking spot at a local business for many months and that it should be removed to allow for handicap patrons to park there. He also expressed his concern for the snow that builds up on the top of semi-trucks and to consider requiring logistic companies to have snow removal machines so snow does not fly off onto the windshields of other drivers. Mr. Bendel also expressed that he would like the board to reevaluate the odd and even parking ordinance and to mandate it all year round and not only when it snows.

Based on the agenda, there is a lot of great things happening in our community such as adding LED lights to our facilities, the Pinnacle Drive extension, adding additional exterior cameras, Crate & Barrel, and the efforts from the Village to add a Frontage Road to Weber Road to help support the businesses in that corridor. Thank you to the Will County Health Department and our Fire Department for all their work with the vaccination clinic. It is amazing that we can offer vaccines to home-bound residents.
