parking corrections to address the parking in the neighborhood near the Dean housing, to improve public safety and to allow the trash to be picked up

Jill Mercer Bedoya, opposition to parking changes
now marked parking spots, where before these were unknown as available; where parking is now allowed on both sides near the fire station, there is not two way traffic, nor could the fire truck fit

2nd resident from the neighborhood: 2 hour parking is not going to work, Dean students are only just back and there are already problems, explore other areas were residential parking only, no overnight parking; no issues with the kids themselves

Nutting - we don't have resident parking, don't have technology or staff to do so; sufficient parking spaces available; if it posted, then the car needs to be moved, without posting, they can park anytime

Chief Lynch - a lot of this is a compromise, no signs

our concern is really with the overnight parking

This is a start, we had agreed that we'd give Dean 30 days to see what happens after the signs go up. The signs are not up yet, so we need to get there. It is a compromise and may need to be tweaked


motion to approve, seconded, passed 8-1 via roll call  (Casey no)
