Title: Garden District Complaints
Post by: jay on May 03, 2010, 07:05:49 AM
Some businesses on lower Mahoning Avenue are placing sales merchandise on the sidewalks in front of their stores.

Is this practice a problem for residents of the Garden District?

There is a clothing store near the corner of Steel Street.  I don't have a problem with them placing mannequins on the sidewalk, as long as there is enough room for someone to walk through.  But, I'll bring it up at our next meeting.

This is an example from the north side of Mahoning Avenue just east of Steel Street.

Could be a zoning issue.

Some say the mannequins are often provocatively dressed.  I haven't noticed that yet.

I don't know the Barb you're talking about, but the Garden District secretary is named Barb.  I was a little confused for awhile.

I mentioned this at our officers' meeting last night, and was told that the zoning inspector should be making a visit, if he hasn't already.
