IV OLD BUSINESS St. Raymond School
remove request from
o. Principal, .osi
ethe2Hourparkingrestrictionsalongtheeastside
of I -Oka Avenue and south side of Milburn Avenue adjacent
to St. Raymond School was reviewed. Ms. Patt's request
was to allow the faculty and staff of St. Raymond's to park
on the streets for the entire school day. This request had
been tabled from the Safety Commission's last meeting so
the opinions of the homeowners in the area affected could
be obtained.
The Commission informed Ms. Patt that of the 10 homeowners
that replied, 9 homeowners were against the removal of the
2 hour restriction and only one homeowner was in favor.
Ms. Patt informed the Commission that this parking is needed
because the parking lot is used for recess and physical
education, and asked if some type of sticker could be used
so only people employed by the parish would be allowed to
park past the two hour limit.
IV OLD BUSINESS continued
It was the Commission's opinion that the use of this
type of sticker on a public roadway would discriminate
against other motor"ists and be illegal. The Commission
indicated St. Raymond employee's could park 2 blocks
away on Prospect Avenue in the newly created 8 hour
parking zone. It was noted that the 2 hour parking
restriction was :being enforced during the two week one-
way traffic experiment and that allowing this additional
parking may add to the traffic congestion adjacent to
the school.
After further discussion, a motion by Commissioner Coy,
seconded by Commissioner Beening was made to recommend
the denial of the request to remove the 2 hour parking
restriction and that the faculty and staff of St. Raymond's
utilize their own parking lot.
Motion was passed unanimously.
