A <br />letter to Cicero’s should be send regarding their “package liquor license”. <br /> <br />The Traffic Commissioners recommended to survey businesses around in order to <br />know their inputs regarding this issue. <br /> <br />2.No Parking at Any Time sign in front of 7320 Forsyth <br /> <br /> <br />Background: Judy Berger, on November 14, 2003 requested a “No Parking at Any Time Sign” <br />in front of 7320 Forsyth building.
