Village council eyed ads on parking meters in Forest Park
A proposal to place triangular advertisements on all parking meters drew opposition from Adolph Starck, head of the Traffic and Safety Commission, who called the idea dangerous and decorative degradation. Supporters warn it could generate needed revenue for village services while critics note legality concerns and potential spread to other village property. Local editors worry over billboard-style ads and state associations have challenged such municipal advertising as illegal. Residents reported appreciation for hot-rod enforcement and the author shares personal news of becoming a grandfather soon.
