Rejecting Proposal of Zone Skill
From "Residential Parking Zone Proposal: 5500 block of 38th Ave"
Go to the project
After reading the proposed zoning parking permit, I wholeheartedly disagree with the zoning. I have lived here for 6 going on 7 years. Parking was always available for our apartment complex at Castle Manor. Several of us, including myself are limited to one parking spot per apartment regardless of how many cars we own. Visitors, family and tenants who live here use the street parking to avoid getting towed in the parking lot.
There are no homes on our side of the street of our apartment except for one all the way in the corner 38th and Jefferson which have their own zone parking already on their street.
Homeowners on the Jefferson St, 38th Avenue on the opposite side, Kennedy Place and Hamilton St all have their own private driveway to park their car which houses minimum 2/3 cars. They also have zone parking already with the homeowners on those side of the street further down.
We specifically use the apartment block to park our cars since not everyone can get a parking pass for the back parking lot since it's limited. For 6 years, I've lived here and everyone who's lived here has always used the apartment complex parking to park near our apartments.
To request that our side of the street to be zoned for parking purposes is not only discriminatory and prejudice, it's also inconvenient for us apartment owners and shows preference and favoritism to homeowners when they already have their own private parking and zone parking already further down the street and numerous parking spots aside as well closer to their homes all the way to Hyatt Park.
Parking spot has been reduced already on our street with the green spots and the poles that have been installed recently which took away about 4 spots on our side of the street.
We are already being reduced to less parking spots to make it more convenient for homeowners that are coming in recently and wanting to make all these changes that have been here for decades and never bothered previous homeowners.
I hope the council listen to us as this entire 38th Ave of Castle Manor relies on this parking near our homes and allows us to have a more safety measure since the city has not put any lighting on our street to provide a more safe street.
