Below: Former District 1 Lake County Board member and Chief Elf for the day Judy Martini (left) alongside Special Conductor Bernadette Rowe, calls for “Tickets, please!” aboard the North Pole Express, More than 70 children, parents, and grandparents dressed in their pajamas, met at the Antioch Metra train station, hopped aboard a special car on the Metra commuter train, and took a ride to Santa country where they were entertained with lunch, games, prizes, dancing, cookies and hot chocolate, and a visit from Santa Claus. The North Pole Express is one of Parks and Recreation Department’s most popular events. Tickets for all days were sold out on the second day they were available. The holiday tradition was expanded to 12 days this year.
Rules for RVs, theater parking raise concerns
By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
Whether its recreational vehicles parked in residential areas or if there are enough parking spaces for patrons of local theaters, the Antioch Village Board wants to take an in-depth look at the village’s parking ordinances. Village Trustee Mary Dominiak at the Dec. 16 Committee of the Whole meeting requested a review of the village ordinance regarding parking. “I’ve had complaints from neighbors about where boats, RVs and other large vehicles can be parked.” She said where some people are parking these larger vehicles doesn’t please some of their neighbors. Certain subdivisions have homeowner’s covenants that the village cannot enforce, but there is a parking ordinance that governs the rest of the village. Trustee Jay Jozwiak said there are certain requirements for the number of parking spaces for theaters and restaurants that aren’t followed. “We have over 200 seats in the Antioch Theater and I don’t
know how many at PM&L,” he said, “and there aren’t the corresponding number of parking spaces available.” “These destination points bring business into the village and we ought to make sure that the village has enough parking to accommodate this,” Trustee Ed Macek said. “A large part of village funds come from sales tax. And part of this ordinance makes it impossible for delivery trucks to park to unload.” Trustee Scott Pierce reminded the board that “People come to Antioch for recreation. They enjoy the lakes, rivers and campgrounds here.” He said that every fall, he parks his boat on the street and cleans and washes it before storing it for the winter. “Our ordinances allows for the boat to be on the street, without being attached to the car, for 13 hours,” Pierce said. “It takes me a weekend but its gone by Monday.” “Let us know the next time you are doing it,” Dominiak quipped, “so we can make sure you get a ticket.” The board suggested that
