. . . " t.-" ~ Oct 10,2006 Jeanna Troah Acting city manager New Brighton Mn As you may be aware, the residents of 12th Avenue N.W. on the south end of Hansen Park near the disc golf course have been having problems with parking on the street in front of our homes, especially those closest to the park. It has be<:ome very difficult to move in and our of our driveways as cars line both sides of the street; cars are parked in front of mailboxes and mail is not delivered, and the cul.de.sac is lined with cars, making it impossible for any large vehicle to turn around (especially emergency vehicles). We have been working with the Parks, Recreation, and Environmental Commission to alleviate the problem, and as a result of our discussions and attendance at the meetings, the layout of the course was changed, and a sign was put on the cul.de-sac informing golfers that the course begins with Hole I at the east side parking lot, with directions to that lot. It has helped somewhat, but there still are too many golfers who continue to park on 12th Avenue. This is a daily occurrence, and some days there are up to 15 cars parked on the street. We are now requesting City Council ,approval for restricted parking on 12th Avenue between County Road E on the south to and including the cul-de-sac on the north, with the exception of four existing parking spaces on the cul.de.sac. We would like the posting to read: RESIDENT PARKING ONLY - PERMIT REQUIRED. Presently, we have no control over the parking. We are of the understanding that if the Council would approve this restriction, we could go ahead with posting the signs next season if all other attempts should fail again.
