We are unable to attend the meeting, but wanted to share our comments. We're also concerned with the number of cars parked in our neighborhood - specifically during Villa Park Soccer League Season. Agree With: • Adding "No Street Parking" signs (on park side, not residential side) • Restricting parking and limiting to ONLY Twin Lakes parking spaces Do NOT Agree with: • Adding more parking spaces o There is a parking lot on the southeast side of the park (on Ardmore Ave) o Do not want to impact the local ecological system (No tree removal, vegetation removal, etc) ▪ This also negatively impacts the appeal and value of our neighborhood Recommend: • Including a notice to parents when registering children for Village Programming (aka Soccer League) to be respectful of residential parking restrictions • Sending a reminder to homeowners/residents that restriction applies to front easement as well. o Latest Renters at 1040 N Princeton parked on both sides of the street, including overnight parking • Parking Enforcement should monitor this during high traffic/parking problem times (Ex: Kid's Soccer League - Late April through Early June) Looking forwarding to hearing what actions the commission will take! Thanks, Rosa Botello Page 18 of 34 Page 1 of 3 Page 19 of 34 Page 2 of 3 Page 20 of 34 Sec. 14-207. No parking zones.
