If the 2 hour parking from 8 AM to 4 PM weekdays became a problem along Tatum Street, residential permit parking would be an option. This option requires 75% of property owners in the neighborhood to petition for permits to allow the residents to park without regard to the 2 hour posting. The permits cost S 10 a year. The Grove has residential permit parking due to its close proximity to campus. However, the 2 hour parking from 8 AM to 4 PM weekdays creates so few problems for most Grove homeowners that only ten permits were issued to property owners out of a possible 102 in 1994. This is because driveways accommodate most parking during the daytime hours. Visitors and others typically park for 2 hours or less on the street during weekday hours. Tatum Street driveways are typically longer than Grove driveways and, therefore, can accommodate more cars than the Grove. c. There is a possibility that the cars currently parking along Tatum Street might move to the east and appear along Lindig Street. The fact that Lindig Street is narrower, less visible and not a through street might deter that from occurring. However, if it was found to be the case, Lindig • Street could be signed in the same way. d. The presence of a 24 hour officer in the city limits starting on January 1, 1995 will substantially increase the enforcement of the city's parking ordinances. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
