Alderman Elstner announced the matter of a parking

Lane, will be discussed on December 15, 1997.
The matter of a parking restriction on Wolf Road, between
the Cumberland Circle and Rand Road, was postponed on
November 17, 1997 to this date. City Engineer Oakley
reviewed his memo of November 10, 1997, which included
the recommendation of the Staff Traffic Advisory
Committee (STAC) that parking be prohibited during the
peak hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m., daily except Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.
Alderman Smith stated that he sent a letter to the
residents on Wolf Road and also walked the area. Of the
40 homes contacted, 23 were for the parking restriction.
Mr. Mike O'Malley, 320 N. Wolf Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole in opposition to this parking
restriction; he also walked the area and did a survey
with different results than Alderman Smith; 59% of the
people he talked to were against the parking restriction.
Mr. O'Malley presented petitions to the City Clerk for
distribution to the aldermen.
Mrs. Karen Ferraiolo, 311 N. Wolf Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that there is a tremendous
amount of truck traffic and speeding on Wolf Road; need
to have more monitoring; she is against the parking
restriction; it will be inconvenient for those that live
along Wolf Road.
Mr. Jerry Dahm, 223 N. Wolf Road, addressed the Committee
of the Whole in support of the parking restriction.
Mr. Fred Schierhorn, 238 N. Wolf Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that speed is the main
problem; this restriction will not change anything; he
doesn't see the need for this ordinance.
Ms. Michele Lewandowski, 241 N. Wolf Road, addressed the
Committee of the Whole asking that the speed limit be
enforced on Wolf Road; need more police; wants a safe
Wolf Road.
Following further discussion, it was agreed that this
matter be evaluated after one (1) year.

Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
to amend Title X, Chapter 5, Section 10- 5 -5(G) -
"Restricted Parking Various Hours" to ADD Wolf Road from
Cumberland Circle to Rand Road, both sides of street, as
"No Parking 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00
p.m., daily except Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays;" and
further recommend that Ordinance T -17 -97 be placed on
First Reading at appropriate time. Motion declared
carried. Alderman Brookman voted no. (Further action
on this matter under Unfinished Business on December 15,
