A Cass Street resident asked the village council for help in keeping people off his property on the evening of the Christmas parade downtown.
He said motorists drove on his lawn last year, leaving deep impressions in his grass.
Council members said they would ask the DPW to post yellow tape around the property as a means of discouraging people from driving or walking on the lawn.
The annual Lighted Parade is set for Saturday, Dec. 2 at 6 p.m.
