Re: NO PARKING SIGN
Tom:
I would like to have
NO PARKING 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. & 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on school days
signs posted near Kennedy Elementary School. The location would be on Bailey Street
from the south end of the north parking lot to the dead end on the Kennedy side of the
street only.
To the best of my knowledge, the cars that are parking on the street are employees and
parents of students. With parking on both sides the street becomes very narrow and it is
difficult, if not impossible, for the District and the City to plow snow. In the past there has
been parking on the street even on snow emergency days. It also makes it difficult to get out
of the turnaround on the east side of Kennedy. By eliminating the parking on one side of the
street in this area it should also prevent snow and ice ridges on the street.
There is no need to park on the street when there is more than enough room in the parking
lots. Incidentally, I would like the no parking to start at 6:00 a.m. because of Kids Kampus at
Kennedy.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to
contact me at 651- 775 -2476.
