CITY OF PARKWAY VILLAGE SPEED LIMIT DISCUSSION

Upon review of traffic-related studies by the Audubon Police Department and an independent traffic engineer, and, thankfully, considering the lack of vehicular accidents on Linwood Avenue, the Board of Commissioners has voted to maintain the 25mph speed limit throughout the City of Parkway Village.

The Commission thanks everyone for their input and patience on this matter.

PUBLIC WORKS - VILLAGE GREEN PARK MAINTENANCE

The City of Parkway Village will seek proposals for mowing and edge trimming in Village Green Park in 2012, beginning in late March or early April, through October or early November, as necessitated by weather conditions.

Village Green Park is approximately 195' from east to west, and approximately 117' from north to south.  The contract will require that the grass be maintained at a height of less than 6" and will include trimming around the gazebo, playground, trash containers, picnic tables and fence rows.

CAMP TAYLOR FIRE DEPARTMENT - SEEKING VOLUNTEERS

PET OWNERS' RESPONSIBILITIES

When you walk your pet(s) in the City, PLEASE pick up after them.  There have been numerous complaints about excrement in neighbors' front lawns.
 
Excessive excrement in Village Green Park makes it difficult for residents, families, children, and others to use the Park for its intended purposes.  The City has installed a DogiPot station at the north entrance to the Park.  The station is equipped with bags and a depository for dog poop.

Not only is your assistance in cleaning up after your pet appreciated, it's the law.
