help make it possible for the city to do a better job of that?

<DIV>I agree with Paul's sentiment below. I have experienced the "college
students next door" (across the street) syndrome this past academic year, with
frequent unfortunate results, culminating with the paving of a front yard (at 33
Lauriston) because there are two many cars even for a house with a two car
garage and driveway parking for at least four vehicles (which of course would be
inconvenient because they would have to move somebody's car to drive out, etc.).
Instead of a nice green lawn with landscaping that would help keep the
neighborhood attractive, we now have bricks and cars. I would like to see the
ordinance and zoning restrictions on driveways, number of apartments per
building, and number of un-related people in a household enforced before I would
endorse overnight parking.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Not to mention the dangers of restricting access to fire and rescue
vehicles by parking on both sides of the street, whether day or night. Really
long-time residents of Lauriston know that one-sided parking came about when
fire trucks could not get to house aflame.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>While it's inconvenient to reduce on-street parking, it's also very
desirable, for a variety of reasons.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The only thing that is keeping the student population down
in Summit it the lack of parking. If we open the streets to overnight parking,
property speculators will turn Summit into a satellite neighborhood for Brown,
RISD and J&W. They have already tried it next door to me. Trust me, you
don't want a house full of college students living next door to you. Take a
drive throught the Thayer or Eaton Street neighborhoods to se what I

<DIV>In some towns who need on-street parking, there is a requirement that only
one side of the street be used on alternate nights. For example, on mon, Wed,
and Fri, all cars must park on the uneven numbered side. Also, in West Chester,
PA, there is a rule that when more than 3 inches of snow fall, NO cars may be on
the street. I think both of those ideas might help if parking is allowed at all.
Just tossing out that idea... Judi on Firglade</DIV><BR>-----Original

I know that sounds harsh toward people with limited parking, but I
just think the cure would be worse in the long run than the
"sickness." Do we really want our East Side streets wall-to-wall
with parked cars, as in Boston? Not I! (That might be the straw
that finally pushed us out to Rumford or somewhere similar.)
Just MHO!
