Please see attached letter for details of petition and signatures, but basically it is to post no
parking on the south side of Overview Court.
Between 22 January and 27 January, I obtained agreement and signatures from every resident
on Overview Court plus two residences on South Grandview adjacent to Overview Court.
With this unanimous agreement, I would like to request the necessary actions be taken to meet
this request. Your rapid action to this request would be appreciated by all concerned.
Sincerely,

1755 Overview Court

I am Larry McMullen and live on the turn around at 1755 Overview Court which is a
small street off South Grandview. Overview is a nice residential street but is quite narrow
which creates a potential problem. The problem is that parking is allowed on both sides of
the street and when this happens the street is barley passable in a normal width
automobile. My concern is if an ambulance or fire truck needed to get through with cars
parked on both sides it would be impossible to get between them. Then the emergency
vehicle operator would have to go door to door to find the automobile owners to move
their vehicles and valuable time would be lost.
I have observed that during normal times that most people who live on the street
consistently park on the north side of the street. Therefore, what I would like to request is
that parking only be allowed in the turn around and on the north side of the street. I am
sure it would inconvenience people who come to visit as they would have to park further
away, but if an emergency would occur, the inconvenience would be rnirninal in
comparison to an emergency vehicle getting down the street.
I personally have contacted every resident that parks on the street and have obtained the
signatures from the ones who agree with this proposal.
Your consideration to this matter is greatly appreciated and please proceed with what
action is necessary to solve this potential problem.
