I have been in contact with Irene from the Willard neighborhood association and Anaya from the Public works traffic engineering team. They said that these changes were going to take effect but nothing has changed yet. -willard school overnight parking -getting rid of 2am-6am sign and replace with 7am-8am in willard ward 5 district It's been two more months now with no change yet or response. People are still receiving tickets. This is around the area Ward 5, Willard. My question is why hasn't the change taken effect, so we the people can understand why. Pass this message onto the Mayor and the council member in charge of ward 5 please, so this can make for a better community. Thank you.

I am still receiving parking tickets and so is the community I am still receiving parking tickets and so is the community of over 20 cars everyday,today is 12.15.22 which I received another ticket of 70$ from the same exact cop at 5am who gives out tickets everyday, which makes everyday life harder and harder for the people in these communities. Streets near me are 1342 N Ross St, Santa Ana, CA 92706 and cross street 328 w washington ave santa ana which are under the Willard street sign parking plan. I have received over 4 parking tickets parking in different streets to avoid the same cop that is giving out the tickets because this "Willard street plan" slips into homes and apartment blocks especially in Washington/Ross where the public will have majority better use for ..instead of the enforcement of no parking at 2am-6am when no one is really awake, crime low, and for the purpose of issuing tickets to lower class hardworking individuals. The Santa Ana street meters in this "Willard street plan" around this area/houses also contribute to this problem listed below... of majority of apartments not being eligible for parking permits. Both Santa Ana meters in this "Willard street plan" and no parking 2am-6am of this street plan, are occupying unused space more suited to the public. Majority of apartments are not eligible for parking permits. I live in an apartment and I called City hall to get a permit and they told me I am not eligible because the apartment I live in has more than 4 units. Which is inconvenient because my apartment unit only provides I parking space per unit which is the reality for most families living here. Most families will have at least 2 cars.Majority of Santa Ana is made up of families. The Majority of the people that live in these areas are people that live in apartments which is fundamental to Santa ana. And the majority of these hardworking people will be denied parking permits because the majority of the apartments here are more than 4 units. So the majority of them will get tickets. The traffic division that created this plan did not plan accordingly or need to update for the accommodation of people and apartments that exist here. 1
