Re: Reconsideration of College Highlands Parking District
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
We have been informed, that a request has been submitted to the City to reconsider the hours
and number of permits issued in the recently adopted College Highlands Parking District.
This parking district was established by resolution on a 5-0 vote of the council, as a result of a
petition signed by a strong majority (75%) of the residents residing "within" its boundaries. It is our
position that any change to this district should be considered only after following this same
procedure i.e., re-petitioning of ALL of the district residents. Any other course of action would
amount to a betrayal of the process that this neighborhood so meticulously followed to create it.
We are clearly very concerned with any attempt to change the ordinance itself, which would be
necessary should the council entertain a change to the number of permits issued. It is our feeling
that any such change would also apply to all other established parking districts within the City. This
of course, would meet with strong opposition from the other districts that have managed quite
successfully to abide by the status quo. It is also interesting to note that the College Highlands
Parking District has yet to implement and enforce the hours as approved by council and the
number of permits issued under the ordinance. Any request for change at this time seems
extremely premature to us.
Respectfully Submitted,
Cydney Holcomb

City Council Members and Mayor -
Re: Proposed re-striping of Johnson Ave..
As a resident of this City for over 40 years I would like to thank you for constantly
looking at ways to improve our way of life.
I been thinking of the proposed changes to the striping and can not find.any
rational reason for making this change. Johnson Ave. has been built as a 4-lane
road because of the volume of traffic that has increased over the years. As we all
know the City is not getting smaller and there are new housing tracts being built
at the south end of the Johnson Ave area. This will only add traffic to Johnson
Ave. leading into town and cause major problems at peek travel times.
As a resident adjacent to Johnson Ave. I witness on a daily basis the difficulty of
trying to get out of a driveway and into the flow of traffic. By making Johnson 1
lane you will slow traffic down but will make it impossible for cars to merge from
side streets and driveway. The single lane of solid cars will also block access to
left turn movement.
If the speed of the traffic is your major concern, I would suggest proper
enforcement as your first tool to control and punish the violators that are moving
thru this corridor. Don't punish or create a hardship for the people that live there.
An additional 4 way stop at Sydney would slow the traffic down but a traffic signal
would serve the same purpose. The traffic signal could also create a safe
crossing for children and create controlled gaps in the traffic so people could get
out of their driveways.
I invite you to go out to Johnson Ave. at 7:45 a.m. and see what a single lane of
traffic will do. Set up a temporary lane closure and monitor the congestion. In fact
there is a construction project going on this week. This is the type of problem we
will have daily or any time we have an increase in flow of traffic.
You may want to reconsider this idea and save the tax payers a lot of grief,
unsafe conditions and the amount of money it will cost us when you go back to.
re-strip.
I truly feel this is the wrong application for a new idea.
Respectfully submitted.
