• <br />October, 2003 <br />Hello, <br />I am hoping you can help us with a parking issue that has been causing problems for some of the <br />residents on this block. <br />When this neighborhood was built, it was made a cul-de-sac with no street access to <br />Prior Avenue to prevent the traffic and parking associated with the university campus from <br />negatively affecting the residential character of this area. Over the past year, there has been an <br />increasing amount of parking near the pathway by people working or going to school on the <br />St. Paul campus. <br />The result is that the homeowners nearest to the path do not have access to on-street parking for <br />their guests and service people. If this happened only occasionally, there would not be a problem <br />but it appears that the same cars are parking in the same location nearly every day. This has been <br />the basis of many 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 <br />public parking without negatively affecting some homes on a daily basis. The following actions <br />on your part would be a great help: <br />1. Move your parking location every day. Space is available on blocks to the north and, by <br />regularly rotating your parking spot, you cause less hardship for the homeowners in that <br />neighborhood. <br />2. Avoid parking close to other cars. If you see that a car is already parked in front of a <br />home, please do not park in front of the same house. Leave them room for their guests <br />and service 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 <br />some 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 <br />City Hall. Phone is 651-644-5050. <br />Thank you very much for your assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />• Sue Gehrz, Mayor <br />
