I remember when the MSU Parking District was established. My home at 1524 S 3rd Ave was
not in the original district. We were just outside of the parking district boundary and could notimagine cars parking on our block with a half mile walk to campus. However, after a couple
months of the 1500 block suddenly being filled with parked cars, cars driving on theboulevards and lawns looking for parking spots, yards full of garbage blown out of vehicles
and cigarette ashtrays emptied on the street, the neighborhood requested to be added to theparking district. We reviewed the costs, placement of signs and wholeheartedly agreed to the
terms. I also remember that fines collected in the parking district would help to pay for theexpenses along with our fees. It totally surprised me to find out during the recent fee increase
discussions that the fines were not being used to help pay for the parking district as originallyestablished. It is time to correct this error, and keep the parking district fees at a more
reasonable cost.Cynthia Luebbe
