Just a reminder of the upcoming meetings on this parking issue. It may seem like it's only a Hill Section problem, but it may not be. Please see my other post.

The final Advisory Committee meeting is next Tuesday, July 7th from 6-8pm at the Fletcher Free Library.

The next DPW Commission meeting is July 15 at 6:30pm in the DPW Conference Room at the entrance to their building at 645 Pine Street. The Commission's July agenda will include a discussion of the resident only parking study. An agenda of the meeting is posted online no less than a week before the meeting. Here is the link to their page when the agenda is posted: http://www.burlingtonvt.gov/DPW/Commission/AgendasI am against the proposal of selling resident parking to commuters.

I thought some of the reason for all this development that the city readily approves, is to prevent suburban sprawl but on the other hand, the city is encouraging commuting by allowing it to be easier to park.

Why is this issue being posted only in the Hill Section FPF? when it seems to be more of a guise to allow developers to develop without regard to off street parking, therefore more profit. It applies to the whole city, not just the Hill.

Does the city propose selling more parking spaces than there are spaces? How do they figure out how many spaces to sell?

I thank Karen Paul, Chapin Spencer, Nicole Losch and others, who have been concerned and listening to the residents. I applaud you for having to be the front line for maybe something you had no part in, and have to take the brunt.
