[Summit] Fw: Overnight parking

[Jennifer Luxmoore]

It sounds like the majority of people are in favor of on-street  
overnight parking. It looks like the subject should be brought up to  
the appropriate people and the city should make a determination as to  
what to do. Whether that involves voting on it, issuing a specific  
number of on street stickers per household, street, neighborhood etc.  
But it seems that enough people what to investigate the matter further.
