Merle Mevissen: We have plenty of room. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney: Control on 161st would be the most imperative. <br /> <br />Resident: 161st was the worst. They were parking on the boulevard. The people who wanted to <br />walk from Central Park they had to walk on the road - and their dogs. I parked cars in my yard on <br />Kangaroo. I keep it a car length off the road. The boulevard is the biggest problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney: Signage may be the thing that is needed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: Mr. Thorud's basic problem is his assessment. The unfortunate <br />thing about 161st is you have the park on one side with no one to take the other part of the <br />assessment. We can look into that on the Road and Bridge Committee and see if we cannot get <br />these assessments in line. <br /> <br />Mr. Thorud: The City did participate. <br /> <br />Resident: I feel the assessment is high for that amount of traffic. That does not include what's <br />generated by the RYAA. We feel we are assessed extremely high. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: We will look at that. <br /> <br />Resident: It was over $500.00. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: We looked at it but I am not sure what happened. We will look at it <br />again. <br /> <br />Police Chief Auspos: The City's ordinance prohibits parking and driving on the boulevard. A <br />person would have to use the driveway only. As far as parking on the street, the City Engineer can <br />post that but the City may have to change the ordinance to post the entire neighborhood. <br /> <br />Resident: If it says no parking in front of the park, is that all year. <br /> <br />Chief Auspos: Yes. <br /> <br />Resident: That should be checked into; it's being abused. <br /> <br />Resident: I live on property that was on the air strip. We bought it in 1987. The first few years <br />there used to be big signs that said "no through street - residential traffic only". I do not know <br />when they took that away. Last year, parking was terrible. I feel the Police Department should <br />have been ticketing some of those cars. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney: We had a sign for years, but unfortunately, it was completely ignored. <br /> <br />Resident: There was a guy there who used to check addresses. <br /> <br />Mr. Delaney: Would it help if we gave residents a residential tag to hang on their mirror? <br /> <br />Resident: I do not feel that would be a problem. I would be against people not being able to park <br />on my land. I agree 161st got way out of line. I am against cars being run down the boulevard <br />and so many people having to walk down the road. <br /> <br />Game Fair Neighborhood Meeting/March 28, 1996 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
