 Dear Official, I am writing you to urge you to get the Department of Transportation to delay the recontruction and resurfacing work scheduled to begin during the holiday season on my street and on adjacent streets near my house. I am incensed that these repairs will begin during the busiest time of the year and during the time of year when I will have guests coming to my home from different parts of the area and from out of town, some staying a few hours, some maybe a few days - who will need access to parking spaces. I am angry about this pending work for many reasons. I am incensed about the timing of these scheduled parking restrictions because this will involve impaired access to parking on streets where parking is already impossible. The scheduled timing of the work is a travesty because it involves limiting parking spaces during the holiiday season when we have more visitors and are at home more hours of the work day and need more parking spaces.   The notice given of these scheduled disruptions is pathetic and disrespectful and in contravention of the principals of adequate notice and due process. Residents received a suspiciously undated notice of the reconstruction work on Thursday, December 19 - one week in advance of the scheduled work date - December 27, 2002. The letter announcing this work failed to warn us of specific dates for parking restrictions to begin. On December 20th - 3 days prior to the scheduled parking restrictions - we received notification by signs posted on trees - that parking would be prohibited from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. beginning December 23. That is two days before Christmas and is to last through Christmas and the New Year. To limit access to parking on streets where parking is already nearly impossible to come by and at the busiest and most social time of the year - is the height of insensitivity. Residents at this time need as many parking spaces as possible to enjoy the company of friends and family, in-town and out-of-town, visiting during the day and overnight during this most social season of the year. This means that parking limitations will ensue during this most important and busiest holiday season - the most inconvenient time of the year.  This is the time when festivities, socializing and general hustle and bustle require greater access to parking, not less. Please respect our need for access to our homes and for parking spaces for our loved ones who come to visit. Please delay the construction and resurfacing work until after the hustle and bustle of the holiday season has subsided. Please reschedule this disruptive work and parking restrictions until after January 1, 2003. For more information, please contact me at the address and phone number provided. For information on this matter, you may visit www.Lobbyline.com/swparking. Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you for getting these parking restrictions and street resurfacing/reconstruction work delayed until after January 1, 2003.
