i - November 24th, 1996 Mr. Michael Mornson City Manager 3301 Silver Lake Rd . St. Anthony, MN 55418 Dear Mike: Referring to your letters of the 25th of October and the 13th of November of this year, and our various conversations re- garding this matter, I want you to know that I have thought very hard about what my decision would be in this matter. I have discovered that I can not agree with the signage change. I require parking to be available to people who come to assist me in various ways; as .you are aware, I am disabled and sometimes require more help than others, depending on my state of health at the time. During winter in particular it is very important to have the parking available as my drive may go for as long as three to five days before it is cleared. The change in signage to 7-8AM and 2-3PM No Parking and No Stopping on School Days would not assure me of parking space, With the current mention of 1 hour parking on the Schools side of the street, it would not take long to figure out you can park on the South Side of the street from 8AM to 2PM. It further is a matter of concern to me that I would be saying yes to a sign that will not be enforced after a short initial period of time. Somehow this seems to penalize those who obey signage and rules for parking, as most people do feel wrong about ignoring park- ing signs . No one wants to park in front of my house at the moment with the one hour restriction stated particularly when .they know they will be staying longer. I have seen some very responsible parents doing there very best to comply with requesteadrop off and ,-pick up on the North side of the street. Some children attending the school are able to cross streets safely. And I do wonder if this is a school matter with educa- tion of Parents and Students regarding the situation; with up- dates given as needed. I also think the north side of the street needs to be opened to parking - perhaps a 2 or 3 hour period during the school day.
