Dear Editor:
Re: Parking Space Battle Pitting Residents Against Each Other, Aug. 7 news story.
We have the same problem on the 400-block of East 12th St. The difference is our cones were to keep parking for residents, who could move them to park on their street, and to keep employees of the hospital and businesses on Lonsdale from using our street as employee parking.
Residents of West 14th must join together and focus on the problem, which is not each other; rather, others using the street for work-related parking.
Instead of demanding the hospital and Lonsdale businesses to provide their staff with adequate parking, the city responded to us by taking our cones away, then fining us for putting them out.
The city also offered us to pay to park in front of our own houses. They punished us, rather than the ones causing the problem. Stick together West 14th residents and go after the perpetrators and demand your council act for you.
