<br />by deleting or postponing restricted parking until the off-street parking lots are put in effect-and ~ied out
<br />to see how it works in regard to the over all plan.. May I say that I think your reasoning and decision in this
<br />matter is very good and proper. It is my opinion that we can not foretell what effect the off-street parking lot~
<br />will have on the over-all plan until it is tried oat, and now may I ask of you that favorable action be taken in
<br />s similar case.
<br /> In behalf of some home owners and downtown residents, may I request that the same
<br />yardstick or meEhod be applied and grant us some consideration in regard to parking me.ers, namely or more
<br />specific - do not install parking meters ~in front of a~yone'~s home Which is located in any block that is primaril
<br />residential until the off street parking lots are put in operation tested out and properly appraised in~egard to
<br />the over. all traffic Situation. Whe~ one's home is behind a toll meter it is a detraction, it is inconvenient
<br />nnd it is also damaging. We ~rust you will grant this concession umder .the same condition yon did for the me~ -
<br />
<br />chants."
<br />
<br />adopted.
