Re: Parking problem
Dear Mr. Curtis:
After meeting with Steve Schainker Wednesday morning concerning the parking
problem on Douglas Ave. between 13th & 14th streets, I wrote up another
petition and had the neighbors sign it. The petition states that we would
like the City of Ames to put uP a "No Parking Between 8a.m. & 5 p.m.N sign,
on the west side of the street. If this cannot be done, then we would
like a " No Parking Anytime" sign put up on the west side of the street.
I tried going to McFarland Clinic (and Mary Greeley just got a petition due
to the fact that I'm sure the cars belong to McFarland Clinic employees)
about having the employees Park on their own lots and not on our street,
but to no avail. Enclosed Please find a copy of that first petition.
When there is parking allowed on both sides of the street it becomes very
hazardous to drive on. It also becomes very hard to pull into and back
out of our driveways. Also, only one car at a time can go down the street.
Please bring this issue up at the next council meeting so that something
can be done about this Problem soon. If you have anv questions please feel
free to notify me, and I' ll be awaiting to hear of the decision that is
made.
Thank you for your help and prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
1)-1-QWUy
