Subject: Parking district
Good Morning Alex,
I am writing to offer my support for the proposed parking district in the Anholm neighorbood. I’m supporting the
establishment of the district for the following reasons:
1. I feel that if this district is created the residents of the area will gain control of their parking options.
2. Currently, when residents have visitors, the resident is not always able to offer visitors parking at a reasonable
distance from their homes.Having a parking district would solve that problem.
3. Having more space on the streets will allow the “street sweepers” and ‘garbage trucks” to more easily access the
streets. Right now, these vehicles are hampered by out of the area vehicles parking in front of the houses. I have
trash, i.e.. leaves, dirt, paper and so forth that hasn’t been adequately picked up in front of my home for several
months.
4. Having a parking district would eliminate the “Cal Poly and commercial “ overflow parking the the residents currently
experience. We now have folks parking in the neighborhood, that walk to Cal Poly or work in the surrounding
commercial areas. They often leave their cars on the street for days or all day, only returning when their class or work is
completed.
5. These additional cars cause the streets to be more congested . We have small children in the neighborhood and they
have limited space to ride their bikes or play ball, tag, or other kid “stuff” The added vehicles generally drive too fast
and are not looking out for these young ones…i’m concerned that one day we will have an accident that all concerned
will regret .
Just a few thoughts.
Safety first, quality of life, and clean streets are what we want.
Respectfully,
Donna Young
