People from the next block park along Young Ave congesting the street. They often park across from each other near the entrance of Young Ave, creating narrow passageways for other cars, and especially hindering emergency vehicles from coming down our block (we've seen a fire truck have to maneuver excessively and slowly to get in and out of our block). They also park across and flank our driveway which makes it difficult for us to maneuver out of our driveway due to the narrowing of the street and the town tree along driveway limiting maneuverability.” – Resident on Young Avenue “In terms of the 4 hour limit proposal. I'd much rather be part of the residential parking permit area. The main reason is, some days myself or other residents might not be able to move their car. For example an elderly person, someone under the weather, a mom with an infant and its super cold, etc. Also, for the days I work from home, sometimes I am stuck at the computer when the day begins, I might not be able to (or simply forget) to move the car by 11am as required.” – Resident on Benedict Boulevard “If there were a problem, the proposed solutions would not solve the perceived problem. For example: We have 5 drivers in our house and 4 cars. We have room for one car in our driveway. One of our drivers works nights, returning home at 9 am and leaving for work on an irregular schedule at 9 pm. There are two drivers who work three days a week. They use the driveway for their two cars. The evening worker would be forced to park on another street for 12 hours to avoid a ticket. This would in effect pass the "problem" to Penfield or Oneida Ave.” – Resident on Hastings Avenue (On updating parking restrictions) “Yes, I would remove them entirely. Let the shoppers from Baked by Susan park on Benedict etc, as well as guests visiting homes on Benedict.” – Resident on Benedict “There was an individual parking on the Southeast corner of Oneida (at Young) and riding her scooter to the train during the academic year -- I saw her almost daily. If you limit restrictions on Benedict and Hastings, I fear that Oneida will become the new hot spot for free parking.” – Resident on Young Avenue “The proposal is a good idea. I would suggest including Oneida also. I see commuters using the west end of Oneida regularly.” –Resident on Young Avenue “I have a problem getting a ticket outside of my own house! I would like to be able to sleep past 8 AM if I am off work!!” – Resident on Young Avenue
