Even better, make resident/ occupant parking only for the 3 blocks north of Mendenhall and the 3
blocks South of Babcock from Broadway to 11th and start cashing in on that parking garage. Heck,
build new ones and cash in on those too.

My husband and I are building currently at 314 N Black AVE and live across the
street at 309 N Black Ave. We live right in between downtown and Beall Park. I
have been researching how many owners/renters do not have driveways and rely
on street parking in front of our homes. This represents at least 60-70% of
occupants in this "downtown" neighborhood. Every day I witness numbers of
downtown employees, consumers, visitors, and construction workers parking in
front of our house for the day or night. Because of the stringent parking
enforcement, downtowners are now using our neighborhood for their parking.
So much so that often we cannot find parking on our block or the next block.
Then add Beall park events ( tee-ball, parties, etc) and also block M road
closures. Lately, ignorant people have even been parking or blocking driveways
as well. Not to mention the overflow of parking that this will create when the
dwellings are done.We are at the end of our rope with the inability to park near
our homes, because these people refuse to pay or abide by downtown parking
rules. We have been assured there is plenty of parking, but I urge you to take a
second look. This makes for serious issue, not to mention the traffic on our
road which is a completely separate issue.
Why not make this a permit only area with the exception of the perimeter of
Beall park ( much like the university district)? There is plenty of free parking on
Peach! That way consumers will be forced to use the parking garage which
benefits the city. As property owners and tax payers, we are requesting that you
provide us with the ability to park near our homes. I appreciate your assistance
for this matter and look forward to hearing from you.
In appreciation,
Julie Belschwender
