A tug-of-war between Tinley Park and the village’s Park District about possible ownership of state-owned land has spilled over into issues such as fuel, road salt and foot races.
The Park District said it has had to find other sources of fuel for district vehicles and de-icing salt for Park District properties after Tinley Park cut off long-standing supply agreements for both products, and that there has been a squabble over getting a permit for the district’s annual Running o’ the Green 8K race, typically held in conjunction with the village’s Irish Parade.
“These long-standing agreements were created in the best interest of Tinley Park residents, their tax dollars and to benefit the community,” Roby said. Tinley Park Village Manager Pat Carr said Friday the Park District altered the race route, which would have required more police officers to be deployed if held March 5, straining staff.The Park District also holds its annual Stars and Stripes 5K on July 4, but is looking instead to run it July 1.The district said it has requested a permit to hold the race July 1 and is waiting for a response from the village.
