Name: Street Parking Enforcement
Project Manager: Eric Jones
Description: In response to our MARC Survey, street parking was a common theme of concern. Enforcement of street parking is the responsibility of the whole neighborhood as residents to hold each other accountable for the safety of our streets. It was decided that starting a Parking Safety Committee made up of volunteers who monitor parking violations. In addition a way to volunteer for this committee will be posted on the website. In addition, a new requirement for all residents to register their vehicle information will be required starting in 2023 to assist in improving compliance notices to the correct homeowners. Only cost for the project currently known is to purchase vests which will identify the Parking Safety Committee.
Estimated Costs: $50
