Fw: [Mintwood-place] New parking signs on Mintwood Place

[David Wild]

I object to the idea that this is necessarily a loss for "regular,
tax-paying citizens."  Those citizens who choose to own cars and park them
on public streets will be marginally inconvenienced by the decision.  But
there are many of us "regular, tax-paying citizens" who don't own cars or
who own cars but have realized that it is impracticable to rely on public
streets for parking.  We clearly benefit from the reduction in double
parking.

Score one for business - zero for regular, tax-paying citizens.

Dear Jeff Selingo,

Geez,

The reason for the double parking is the lack of available spaces in ratio
to
the number of cars looking for parking. This poor decision only exacerbates
the
problem.

What about the people that are FORCED to park in front of the fire hydrant
to
check in or put their name on a list or how ever they justify it. DDOT
doesn't
concern themselves with that problem and it is a much greater liability,
don't
they know.

And what recourse do citizens have?

Kind regards, Angela

Here's more information from DDOT on the Mintwood spaces. Yet another bad
decision....

Mr. Heymann

The space abutting the Kalorama Guest House, 1852/1854 had been unrestricted
for
a number of years. Guest attempting to check into the guest house have been
force to double park and completely block traffic on this very narrow
residential street. "15 Minute Parking, Hotel Pick Up and Drop Off" signs
were
installed, in the unrestricted space, to eliminate the double parking and
blocking of traffic.From: Menda Fife

Just noticed these tonight. Two hour until 8:30pm is
great, but who decided for the exclusive -- what seems
to be -- 24 hour, 15 minute loading and unloading in
front of the Guest House. Great that their guests
won't be doubled parked anymore, but two more parking
spaces are now gone.

Please correct me if I'm seeing this wrong.

Thanks to all.
