My fellow <br /> residents and I have struggled for many years with the permit parking program that surrounds <br /> our condos. The complex where we live was built in the 1960s, and the existing parking <br /> infrastructure is insufficient for the amount of cars registered here. Our residents were once <br /> able to park in the surrounding streets when it was necessary, but ever since the permit <br /> parking program was implemented in our neighborhood (2005), it has become more and <br /> more difficult to find available parking. <br /> Our residents are regularly cited for parking on the streets that surround us. Several families <br /> simply sold their homes and left over the years because the dilemma was so unbearable. It <br /> has only gotten worse as time has passed. <br /> Our HOA is currently in the process of establishing more on-site parking, but it is a very <br /> lengthy and costly process, and there is no guarantee that the project will provide enough <br /> spaces to meet our needs. <br /> If the permit parking program is to continue in our city, we ask that the public works <br /> department make allowances for residents of our complex to purchase our own permits to <br /> park on the neighborhood streets so that we too can come home and not have to fret over <br /> where we will leave our vehicles over night. <br /> We wish to see the city's permit parking resolution updated to ensure all Santa Ana residents <br /> are treated equitably. Thank you. <br /> Marlene Medina <br /> marlamedina@sbcglobal.net <br /> 3 <br />
