I would like to know where this issue was “broadcast, publicized, and discussed,”for, in my “ignorance,” it took me completely by surprise! I, like many others, walked outside one day to find signs posted in my yard. How could so many of us have been so busy “driving our SUV’s and drinking lattes,” which, by the way, I do not have nor do! It seems those of us who are directly affected by this ordinance should have been included in the many discussions referred to and been given the opportunity for input. I was not even aware of these proclaimed discussions. This, happening as it did, seems to have been quite purposefully secretive and it makes one wonder if it is a power/ego issue rather than a safety issue. I, like another, would like to see a copy of said safety study. I would also like statistics on the recent number of implied incidents requiring this ordinance. Also, as another mentioned, it seems strange that there is parking allowed nearest the school where many children enter and exit but none halfway down quiet streets further away. I hope the Council will take another look at this situation which seems to be more of an inconvenience for a number of people than a solution to what may or may not be a problem.
They don’t give a dam what property owners nor what their right are. You are just one of the many little people who pay high Taxes and keep them employed.They know better and file an obscure legal notice In the abandoned property notice in some unread obscure legal notice newspaper that no one buys or reads .Its a CYA OPERATION.Town loves signs tho.New form of urban pollution and loss of basic Freedoms of property owners.
