PETITION
To the- Traffic Enoineer
City Manager
And members of the Lodi City Council
The undersigned merchants, currently enguaged in business along Last Lodi Avenue
do hereby petition for relief of the parking problems encountered daily in the
operation of their establishments.
To solve the problem, we strongly recommend that the city move to establish 2 hour
limited parking zones along this avenue. These zones (3 to 5 spaces each) would
be placed directly in front of the businesses with the remainder of the avenue
reininq as is. Since the avenue is intermixed (business and residential) we wish
to state, that we have no desire to inconvience any of the residents who maintain
homs along the avenue. However, parkinq for our customers is absolutely essentials
If we are to remain in business durino these hard times.
The problem of enforcement of these zones would be carried out by the city police
working in conjunction with the merchants. It would not be necessary, in our op-
inion to have meter maids patrol these zones on a regular basis. The merchant
could inform the police of violations which affect his trade. It is not our wish
to punish the occasional offender but it is to protect our business interests from
the individuals who park all _day_ long_, _every_ day, directly in front of operating
establishments and distrupt commerce.
In conclusion, we strongly recommend that the city officials act immediate) to
resolve this problem, We the merchants suffer directly from Toss o sees each
day that the current condition exists. And the city suffers indirectly from loss
of tax revenue which would be generated by these sales.
