Re: Parking 300 Block of 1 s Street
Dear Mayor & Commissioners'
C/ftJ/21_ Aktfletetzt.
r: keitkeA.-
In my recently remarks to the commission I discussed 3 problems with the parking on the street in the
300 block of first street. 1) Public Safety: The street being blocked to emergency vehicles, 2) destruction
of our property by cars trying to turn around or driving through our yards to get around jammed traffic
when they can't. pass, 3) Poor / hazardous access to our driveways from cars parked in the street.
Most of issues that have been discussed were centered on items 2 & 3 above. On Friday, June 11,
2021, I was once again reminded of the Public Safety problems from parking on the street. With cars
parked on one side of our narrow street there is no place for delivery vans, service vehicles and moving
trucks to park, The street was completely blocked, for the 3rd time this year, for more than an hour by a
tractor -trailer moving truck (please see attached pictures).
If anyone on the east side of the blockage had called the Police, Fire Department or Rescue for a
medical emergency it would have been a problem. The emergency vehicle(s) would have turned onto
1'' Street, found the street blocked, then had to back-up into Sherry Dr. and go around the block to get
to us. This situation is absolutely unacceptable. Douse fires and medical emergencies should not wait.
Mr_ Corbin checked the 300 block of 13t Street last week and found that it is NOT in the count of parking
spaces for the beach renourishment funding. There is no requirement to have this parking and little to
no control or regulation of this parking. This is not a law enforcement issue, it is a governance issue.
We are once again requesting 1st Street be designated "NO PARKING ON PAVEMENT.'
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated,
