I am a concerned citizen writing about parking permits within my neighborhood and streets <br />around me. <br />My address is 2927 W Raymar Santa Ana, CA 92704. My neighborhood continues to have a high number of crime due, <br />vandalism and accidents due to the amount of people who use our street to park. While my street does not require <br />parking permits; we have a high number of people coming over to park from other neighborhoods who do require parking <br />permits. We have people parking on the corners endangering the flow of traffic, the same with vandalism, drugs, needles, <br />bottles including used condoms. <br />I have sent several emails and made calls to city about these issues. We have had several bad accidents in front of my <br />house, across the street, next door due to these issues. I noticed that other streets which do require permits have more <br />policing, including painted sidewalks around these corners to allow the flow of traffic. This is the same with painted (red) <br />side walks for fire hindrance. Again, while these streets are being better managed, my street continues to have all these <br />problems. I have counted at least 7 bad accidents within my street within the last 3 years that include 4 just in front of my <br />house. Thank God my truck was parked in front or else, not sure what the outcome would have been. <br />My neighbors and I have become desperate to these issues, and we are not getting any help the city. <br />Here are my solutions, make all streets around my neighborhood to require parking permit and allow residents to <br />purchase additional permits if needed. I do not mind paying for a yearly fee to keep my family safe. This will also allow the <br />city to gain additional revenue, while keeping our streets safe, free of crime and accidents. Lastly, remove the parking <br />permits from all streets around us. <br />I have asked my neighbors about signing a petition to get this started, but most of them are afraid of vandalism or <br />retaliation from others. <br />I hope we can come up with a solution and we can some help to at least look into these issues. <br />Thank you, <br />I can be reached for comments and pictures if needed. <br />Ignacio Marquez <br />Rudy1143@yahoo.com <br />714-925-2252 <br />
