The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety members reviewed a proposal from their earlier meeting in August that requested no parking on the south side of Crimson Lane.
The original proposal came from Joan Walters who discussed mobile difficulty for emergency and high-profile vehicles, like school buses, to safely travel through the area with cars parked on both sides of the residential area. She reiterated her concerns to the board members on Monday night when it was up for discussion.
Crimson Lane resident, Frances Kent, opposed the proposal saying that those vehicles have no trouble getting through the area. To summarize, she noted that property values on the side of the street that has parking versus the side of the street that prohibits parking vary due to congestion. She said the change would affect mail delivery with congestion on one side of the street and the same explanation can be used for plowing and mowing.
Another resident on Crimson Lane, Jesse Morales, was opposed to the parking restriction and said that parking is not a problem. City Councilman Gary Cook, who lives on the other end of the road, said parking is not really an issue.
After further discussion, the board unanimously agreed to deny the request to enact a parking restriction on the south side of the subdivision.
