[Mintwood-place] Night-time Public Hearing/Ward 1/Protecting Residential Parking

[Jim Graham]

Dear Friends,



Ward 1 residents -- even with RPP permits that cost them $15 -- are tired of
getting parking tickets because they can’t find a place to park in their own
neighborhood.



That is why I have introduced a bill to protect parking for residents.  The
bill has been referred to my committee.



My bill will:

·        Allow every Ward 1 resident with a D.C. registered vehicle to get a
Zone 1 parking sticker (regardless of whether you live on a presently RPP
zoned block).

·        Restrict one side of residential streets as exclusive Ward 1 RPP
parking.

·        Make a visitor pass available to every Ward 1 household.  This pass
would allow your guests, babysitters, caregivers, etc., to park legally on
RPP restricted blocks.



I have scheduled an evening public hearing on this bill.  I want to hear
whether these ideas make sense in Ward 1.



The hearing will be more convenient for residents to participate.



Here are the details:



*WHEN:*          6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 25, 2009

*WHERE:*       Columbia Heights Community Center

                        1480 Girard Street NW
