City Administrator Stephan Jilk had received complaints regarding the
parking around the high school. A year ago a survey was done which
indicated that the majority did not want permit parking. City Council at
that time decided to wait and see if complaints were made. Mayor McMenomy
drove by 143th Street and noted that residents have an unfair amount of
disturbance because of the students parking.
Christy Hienz, Cantata Avenue, is concerned for the safety of the children
in her day care.. She has witnessed crimes, drag racing, litter, and
interference with mail and safety vehicles.
Mrs. McNearny, 143th Street, has a deaf child who can not be protected from
racing cars approaching her. She also has had several bad experiences with
non-cooperative students and noted contacting the school provided no
satisfaction.
Police Chief Knutsen has reported 34 incident calls on 143rd Street
resulting in 20 citations. Winter parking increases the problem, narrowing
the street. Chief Knutsen would recommend parking signs on both sides
prohibiting student parking and allow residents to have permit parking
signs for their cars and any visitors. The sign would read, "No Parking
Without Permit "Monday - Friday, 7 am - 3 pm".
