Residents of the Edison/Brooksville/downtown neighborhoods dealing with parking shortages and cut-through traffic.
Some spaces would be lost to line width, and residents who value the unstriped look object to a commercial appearance.

Planning Commission - Oct 26, 2026
Coffee Holding's downtown plant draws big delivery trucks past sidewalks near a school. The commission imposed flaggers, delivery-hour limits, and truck-size limits to protect pedestrians, over the company's objections that it's being singled out.
Board of Trustees - Jun 15, 2026
Resident Linda Tortorino and several trustees flagged cars parked in 'no parking here to corner' zones blocking sight lines at Peningo/Westchester, Birch Street, Leicester/Glen, and Grove Street. Trustees discussed striping, enforcement, and a new parking committee to tackle it.
Board of Trustees - May 18, 2026
53-foot trucks keep cutting through residential streets like Indian Road, damaging curbs and endangering kids. Signage is legally tricky — the board will start with the worst corridors and billboard-style signs at village entrances.
Board of Trustees - Apr 20, 2026
Trustee Dorazio proposed painting lined parking spaces on congested streets like Bush, Seymour, and Parker to stop people hogging two spots — a source of neighborhood fights. No vote was taken; a parking committee will study it with a possible pilot program.
