PETITION FOR EXTENDING PROPOSED RESTRICTED PARKING ZONE TO INCLUDE OUR STREET
(Sunnyside Ave N. Between East Greenlake Dr. N and N. 77th Street)
THE NORTH END OF GREENLAKE - NORTHWEST MARGIN OF THE PROPOSED RPZ
Because our street is experiencing significant parking congestion, which is exacerbated by the significant expansion of new housing without adequate residential parking in the Greenlake area, we ask that the Seattle Department of Transportation extend the proposed Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) to include our street.
Despite the presence of of parking on both sides of the street, the congestion on Sunnyside Ave. North makes ingress and egress very difficult, even at current user levels. Congestion on our street is due to visitors to both the park and local businesses. If the proposed RPZ is implemented without extension to Sunnyside Ave North, people who seek longer term parking for both access to the park and business district, will end up parking on our street for extended periods of time, leaving no parking options available for residents. Once again, this is compounded by increased density of new housing both on and adjacent to our street.
The petition area consists of residences located on both sides of Sunnyside Ave N between East Greenlake Dr N. and 77th Ave NE.

I agree with this petition. We have lived on Sunnyside Ave N for over 20 years and the parking situation this year is significantly more challenging due to the increased development at Greenlake Village, and neighboring streets, and the increase in number of visitors to Greenlake park.
For those who live on 75th St. between 1st Ave and Sunnyside Ave N, this petition proposes an "extention" of the RPZ up to and including Sunnyside Ave N. Hence, the homes on 75th will also be included.
Please include our street in the rpz.
RPZ has worked great in Wallingford for decades, why not Green Lake. Of course it does require enforcement or the little sticker in one's auto window is meaningless.
Parking on Sunnyside Ave N has become extremely congested - to not include the entire block from Green Lake Way to N 77th in the RPZ would make it untenable.
We support this petition! While we welcome visitors to our neighborhood and appreciate the community treasure that is Green Lake Park, we need to ensure access to parking for those who reside here. Thank you. (J. Jorgenson / T. Mitchell, 7508 Sunnyside Ave. N.)
We live on Sunnyside Ave N, and agree that parking has become very congested.

Many of the homes on Sunnyside Avenue North from 75th to 77th Street do not have driveways or garages and they need to park on the street so we definitely need to have RPZ on our Street.
