Just a person - I agree we dont need more governance at the city, state or federal level. All that is out of control. Problem here is that they have bad governance in place and it needs to be changed, not added to. The issue with the current regulation is that in most instances, if they put a curb cut in, that takes away a spot that normally ANYONE could have parked in. It essentially changes a resident spot into a spot owned by the house with the curb cut. And what if the family goes away for a week or a month?...now they arent using their driveway and no one can park in front at the curb cut. This screws all the taxpaying residents even more.

You really didnt understand my post huh? Do you understand the issue? ...what the current law mandates with NO resident input? I dont want a house going in on my street and making another one of my potentially available parking spots a permanent spot for the new house and never available to me. I AT LEAST want input which is what they are discussing. I pay my share of taxes and just because a new house goes up, I shouldnt lose a spot with zero input. Do you not get it that parking on the street and taking up a spot or putting a curb cut in for a driveway and taking up a spot are really different situations? As I said, a curb cut makes it so only the driveway owner has rights to that spot. My point on if they were away, is that it really sucks if they are not using their driveway (eg. they are on a car road trip) and no one else can use the spot b/c its a curb cut.

The CNC doesnt dictate on its own. That is why they are asking for input from the residents to find out what everyone wants and what the best option is.

You say""CtownBOS So you think you own a spot on your Street? It's you that dosen't understand, if there a driveway or not the car will be there ,and you are not parking there. My car has been in front of my house since Street cleaning ended, never move it,so again I ask, your point is?"

You need to concentrate harder when you read. I never said I think I own a spot. If I had a driveway curb cut I essentially would though since no one else can park there. By your reasoning, that "driveway or not the car will be there ,and you are not parking there" is rediculous. I have a shot t o park there if there is no curb cut. With one I don't. If you never move your car then this whole issue doesn't apply to you so not sure why you are even commenting. You fail to make any point again. Nice job.

You people are so wrapped up in your anti-BRA/CNC rants that you can not have a civil discourse with someone who 'GASP' doesn't not agree with your point of view. Let me see if I can explain what CtownBOS is trying to say. It's really not that had to comprehend.
CtownBOS lives on a street across from House A. House A does not have a driveway so when House A's car is not there, the spot is free for anyone to use. But now House A gets a curb cut, that spot is not longer available for anyone BUT House A to use, regardless if House A's car is there or not. CtownBOS can never park his car in that spot again. I don't believe CtownBOS is pro or against this policy, but he feels that he should have some say in what affects his ability to park on his own street. It's really not that hard to understand.

Thank you for proving me correct. You can not have a civil discourse. The second someone disagrees, you resort to insults and passive-aggressive comments. And it's just not this thread, it's every comment you make. And you talk about spell check, and yet you have no clear understanding on how to use quotation marks.

"My car has been in front of my house since Street cleaning ended, never move it,so again I ask, your point is?"

If you don't use your car, why do you have one in the city taking up a precious spot? I guess you prove to be part of the problem, not the solution

Oh snap!

So let me get this straight? You have been taking up a handicap spot for months now? MONTHS???? Talk about inconsiderate. What if someone with a disability actually needed that spot? You are bitching about driveways and the CNC/BRA, and you basically are using a handicap spot as your own driveway? Talk about hypocrisy. You are just as bad as those you criticize, abusing the system like you are. There are probably 15 - 20 disability parking spots on street parking, and you have left your car there for over 4 months? Amazing.

Yes. I have one more "stupid" comment (btw, that would be the correct way to use quotation marks). You are one giant, inconsiderate hypocrite. You are probably the person who yelled at my friend on Cordis St last summer who parked in an empty handicap spot last summer, a friend who has been disabled since childhood and can barely walk even with two arm canes, for parking in their handicap spot.

I'm not against handicap spots. I'm against people who abuse the system and treat them like their own personal driveways.

And again with the personal attacks. I disagree with you, so my comments are stupid. Very mature and insightful response.

JAP - Real Intelligent how you call everyone stupid and correct their grammar. Your grammar is all over the place and few of your posts do not contain errors. But there is no need to comment because it's understood (by everyone but you) that this an informal post and not about that.

The handicap spot you think you own is not yours. And its not your driveway. Sorry to bust your bubble. It was not "assigned" to you. You may have applied for it and the city installed one because there was a need ...but its not yours. Anyone with credentials can park there. If it were your spot, you could have someone towed if they park there...you resort to yelling at them and keying their cars when they park in the spot because youre not smart enough to comprehend it's not yours. The only thing you have handicapped is your brain. We all know your type...milking the system for your own good without regard for others. You really should stop and reflect and make some changes. But that is in vain as we know you feel everyone on this post is wrong and you are right.
