I have also helped by providing information regarding businesses with car repair, commercial truck repair in residential areas. She is the best, I am hoping the one taking over her old job will be as sharp and approachable.

I OWN the property that a col-de-sac is on, and my deed grants an easement for the cul-de-sac, which I am fine with. Today I received a warning ticket that the non-commercial, carry-on trailer I use for moving Boy Scout equipment with and I park in this cul-de-sac (ON MY OWN PROPERTY, which I pay taxes on) is not allowed to be parked because of this Community Parking District. This is a perfect example of the insanity of having a person like Penny Gross being elected to ANY public office. To set aside the ENTIRE district as area where a small privately owned trailer can't be parked instead of making a case-by-case decision on what areas parking such trailers would be a safety issue is asinine.

If they have, hopefully we can learn what has and has not worked for them. Hopefully our neighbors will do this, but if they do, I hope that there is a plan in place to keep us from having a different problem in our communities.
