CO PETITION
LYN WAY NEIGHBORHOOD PARKING RESTRICTION
We need parking restrictions to control the problems caused
by the overflow parking from the Hastings High School student
parking lot. We are requesting that the restrictions have as
little impact on us, the neighborhood residents, as possible.
In reviewing the options of signage, we are in agreement
that the restrictive parking signs state the morning hours of
7.30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. only.
We thank you for listening to our concerns and ask you to
honor our request with your vote.
