So are you proposing that when the construction crews are not working on Oakland Ave. for whatever reason (weather, problems with materials, etc.) someone should go down the street and remove the No Parking signs?  Not very practical nor logical.  

If the Village police or parking enforcement sees a car parked in front of a business during "construction hours" even though no workers are in sight, how are they to know the driver intends to stay there for a couple of minutes or a couple of hours?  

I hesitate to even post this because although you say “PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BELOW” the comments to your blogs left by others are typically met with nitpicking criticism from you.

Eliza,

In your comment above, you ask: "So are you proposing that when the construction crews are not working on Oakland Ave....someone should go down the street and remove the No Parking signs?  Not very practical nor logical.

How 'practical or logical' is shutting down access to the very same businesses the village claims it's trying to help?

In a previous comment of my own, I believe I made a suggestion that might help solve the problem! Changing the 'NO PARKING' signs to "30 MINUTE PARKING WHEN WORKERS NOT PRESENT" would give folks enough time to patronize a business and still ensure they would be leaving soon should the work crews move into that area during the day!

A final aside for clarification: re: your hesitation to post because of possible 'criticism' from Dave, did not you YOURSELF just criticize HIS opinion??
