Edison Park permits drop 90% by dollar value

Edison Park saw a sharp pullback in November: just three permits worth $23k, down from $239k the month before. All three were express permits. Residents filed 210 service requests, a 25% dip, with potholes (23) edging out garbage cart issues (22) for the top spot. Crime ticked down slightly—18 incidents versus 21 in October—while violent crime held steady at nine. No new businesses opened or closed, and no restaurants failed inspections after one did last month.
