Dear Mayor Stewart and Council Members:
Thank you for the opportunity to share some concerns to Defer the Preferential Parking
Permit District Program.
We would like to express our strong support for the implementation of residential
parking permits in our neighborhood now . The North Chorro bikeway and removal of
parking places will impact all the streets involved and the surrounding side streets - the
impact of those changes is yet to be seen. By not allowing us to secure a parking
district will cause much frustration and also safety concerns for those that can not park
near their home.
Recently, there has been an increase in college rentals without parking accommodations
made for them, and that has already impacted parking in our neighborhood. When the
bikeway is in place , that effect will increase substantially. Please allow our
neighborhood a fair opportunity as you have other neighborhoods when these same
concerns happened to them.
We kindly request that you support continuing the current residential parking permit
process when discussing this matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Julia and Scott Starkey
Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us.
