Subject: No Parking Signs along Green Heights, Dutch, Dunkirk and Pershing
Dear Resident:
I am sure you are well aware of
the conditional use permit that was recently approved by the City Council providing Captain Jack’s the opportunity to install a Class 5 gravel parking lot on a seasonal basis to provide
for overflow parking. The owners of Captain Jack’s completed a lengthy process meeting with the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC), Planning Commission and City Council to be consistent
with the City’s requirements. During this process, the TSC also became aware of other safety issues in your neighborhood. Due to the narrow width of streets throughout the neighborhood,
the TSC recommends to install “No Parking” signs on one side of Dunkirk Avenue, Pershing Avenue and Spring Avenue. The purpose of this letter is to gain feedback from you and your neighbors
about the impact of adding “No Parking” signs to your area.
To provide additional background, the City formed the TSC to deal with various safety requests on and around our city streets.
The TSC meets quarterly to respond to safety concerns that we receive. Our next meeting is scheduled for September 2nd, 2004. Prior to that meeting, we would like to invite you to
a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, August 24th, at 6:30pm at the Fire Station (16776 Fish Point Road) to discuss the impact of installing “No Parking” signs in your area. The TSC will
review all of the feedback we receive from you and your neighbors at our next TSC meeting, and will determine whether or not the “No Parking” signs should be installed.
The goal
of the TSC is to improve the traffic safety in your neighborhood. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please call me at 952.447.9899.
Sincerely,
Makenzie
A. McCormick
