Over the past year, there has been an increasing amount of <br />parking near the pathway by people working or going to school on the St. Paul campus. <br />The result is that the homeowners nearest to the path do not have access to on-street parking for their <br />guests and service people. If this happened only occasionally, there would not be a problem but it appears <br />that the same cars are parking in the same location nearly every day. This has been the basis of many <br />complaints and a request for the city to post this area for permit parking only. <br />• With your cooperation, I believe this problem can be resolved in a way that still allows some public <br />parking without negatively affecting some homes on a daily basis. The following actions on your part <br />would be a great help: <br />1. Move your parking location everyday. Space is available on blocks to the north and, by regularly <br />rotating your parking spot, you cause less hardship for the homeowners in that neighborhood. <br />2. Avoid parking close to other cars. If you see that a car is already parked in front of a home, <br />please do not park in front of the same house. Leave them room for their guests and service <br />people. <br />3. If you would like reserved parking closer to the north end of campus, contact <br />Cindy Hartley, Director of Facilities at the Twin City Co-ops Federal Credit <br />Union, 2025 Larpenteur Avenue. The phone number is 651 215-3450. They are <br />making some spaces available in their lot at a very reasonable cost. This would save you some <br />walking distance during the winter months when temperatures drop. <br />If you have any questions or concerns about these suggestions, please call me at Falcon Heights City <br />Hall. Phone is 651-644-5050. <br />Thank you very much for your assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sue Gehrz, Mayor <br />HOME OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND THE U OF M INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE <br />~~~ PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER <br />
