Local parking restrictions must make sense for the long term, on -going health and safety of the community rather than just to avoid short-term inconvenience to those that live along the streets. Therefore, each year prior to the State Fair's start, the city prepares to control parking to make sure that emergency vehicles have access through the city's streets and to fire hydrants on streets that are heavily impacted from Fair traffice and parking. It also provides for temporary parking permits to residents of multi- family dwellings that are heavily impacted by fair parkers. Typically, if the city's ordinances are carefully and consistently enforced by the police, many traffic and parking problems associated with the State Fair are avoided. The use of park and ride lots has also reduced some of the traffic over the past few years. The following lists of streets /areas to be posted are the same as in 1993: "No Parking" 1) All of Northome, water side of street 2) All of Hollywood Court, both sides and alley 3) St. Mary's Street, Fry Street, Maple Knoll Drive, and Garden Avenue west of Snelling on both sides 4) Water side of all streets north of Larpenteur, between Snelling and Hamline running to Roselawn (Exceptions: Sheldon, Pascal, and Simpson Streets north of Ruggles Avenue, Albert Street, and Holton Street will not be posted) Snelling Drive north and southbound both sides of Snelling Avenue 6) Tatum Street 1,300 feet north of Larpenteur Avenue, both sides 7) Lindig Street on water side, including cul -de -sac 8) Larpenteur Avenue from Snelling to Cleveland, both sides 9) Fairview Avenue 1,300 feet north of Larpenteur on both sides
