[Summit] Overnight parking Opt-Out petition form

[Hope for Health]

Has anyone but me noticed what a rip-off the overnight parking
change is for most of us?  We used to be able to have overnight
guests for the price of a phone call.  Now, we have not option but
to pay through the nose for it, while increased numbers of renters 
can fill up the streets and make them more dangerous.

The "opt out" option is not only almost impossible to achieve,
it is worthless - we still can't get back the far better situation
we have had for years.  

Between this and the library closing, I am more and more
disgusted with Mayor Tavares' priorities and handling of
city business.

Blessings,

Liberty G

Dean,

Just a couple of questions:

1.  Has anybody succeeded in "opting out"?  Yes, a good amount of streets.  Updated maps are promised this week by the Parking Administrator.

2.  Is it now too late for that?  It is not too late.  I believe we have until Feb, but if you plan to do it, now is the time.
3.  If a street does "opt out", do they get to keep
the current ability to park overnight by calling the

police?  A recent E-Mail on the list suggests that
this option is now gone.  So, what good would
"opting out" do?  The Do Not Tag List is gone.  Opting-out will not bring it back for your street, unfortunately.  If a street opts out, then no one on that street may get a permit either.  


Blessings,

As promised, here is the form that you need to
 get your street to opt-out of the overnight parking program:
http://www.sna.providence.ri.us/resident-permit-parking-program-petition/ 


Just click the PDF link and it will download the form so you can print it.
You need 66.66% of your street to sign this form before your street will be opted-out of the program.  The street is defined as the entire terminus of the street (from start to end), with the following two exceptions:


1. If the street is longer than 10 blocks, you only need 10 contiguous blocks to sign the petition.
2. If the street crosses over into another police district, you only need the blocks in your police district.


The Parking Administrator is currently making the decision on who gets a vote toward the 66.66%.  He is not sure if you need a vehicle registered in Providence to have your vote count.  In his mind, only those who are eligible for the permit program get a vote, and you need a vehicle registered in Providence to be eligible.  I have urged him to allow all residents (one per household) to be allowed a vote.  In my opinion, if someone does not want this program on their street, it is irrelevant whether or not they have a vehicle.
