We, the neighbors of Saint Paul living between Marshall and Summit Avenue and between Dale Street and John Ireland Boulevard, fully support the existing City of Saint Paul parking ordinance which restricts parking to only one side of these streets.

This ordinance was enacted in 1967 as a matter of public safety; it allows for sufficient access for fire trucks in case of an emergency. Similarly, it allows for ease of snow removal in winter and prevents other problems caused by over crowding of our residential streets.

Single side restricted parking on our streets is not only a necessity, but a benefit for us as neighbors and should be preserved.
