Residents ask Akron council to allow curb cut on Emery St.; police to check parking complaint

During public comment, Mr. and Mrs. Reder asked the Village Council for permission to cut the curb in front of their home on Emery Street. Public Works representative S. Bills said he would inspect the location and the council indicated a curb cut would be allowed provided it would not interrupt water flow near a storm drain.

The Reders also raised a separate concern about a vehicle that habitually parks backwards on School and Center streets. Chief Danielson said he would speak with the individual about the parking practice. The council did not record formal enforcement action at the meeting; Chief Danielson requested residents notify police if they see children riding bikes, e-bikes or mopeds on village streets.
