WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
Julie Cercello (Naperville) Cedar Glen Neighborhood - It's my understanding that
the "No parking on streets from 2am-5am" came into effect here in Naperville in
the 1940's. At that time it was uncommon for families to have more than one
car let alone two or more! I understand that parking in some streets around our
city can be dangerous in areas (curved roads and darker lit areas) and be a
nuisance at times. However, in our smaller subdivision of Cedar Glen many of
the residents have multiple vehicles per residence and our driveways are not
long enough to fit more than one car on a side without parking on the sidewalk
(which would be another violation). With the city having the maximum of 3
"overnights" per vehicle/per month this is simple not sustainable. I'm asking that
City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 4/3/2025
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final March 18, 2025
the city reevaluate the ticketing of vehicles overnight in the Cedar Glen
neighborhood. Thank you for your time in this matter and I look forward to your
response
