Village Hall goes on the road
Village Hall is going on the road to
discuss service delivery with residents in weekly neighborhood
gatherings to be held in each of the community's eight
elementary schools, beginning March 9. The Village Manager,
department directors, police and fire chiefs, and senior staff
will be on hand at each gathering to talk one-on-one with
residents. They will answer questions, provide information on
Village services and programs, and take requests for a closer
look at any specific concerns individuals may have about
municipal services in their neighborhoods. The purpose of the
neighborhood gatherings is not to talk about policies and laws,
which can only be addressed by the Village Board, but discuss
how municipal services are provided. Residents who attend one
of the neighborhood gatherings won't have to listen to a
lecture or watch a presentation. The gatherings will be set up
like an open house, with each Village department manning an
informational table. Residents can stroll among each
department's display, collecting literature, asking
questions or
|
simply chatting with key Village staff.
The neighborhoods for each of the gatherings has been defined
by elementary school boundaries because the school parameters
provide not only a manageable meeting size but also offer an
excellent gathering facility. Each gathering will be from 6:30
- 8:30 p.m. For more information call 358.5770 or email village@oak-park.us.
Daily at 6 a.m., 8 a.m., 10 a.m., 6 p.m.,

Parking Services at 358.5750 or via email at publicworks@oak-park.us. Parking Services
maintains a list of private property owners who have parking
spaces available for rent. The Village does not manage these
spaces or negotiate fees, but only helps individuals make
contact. Residents in need of parking can view the list in
