[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good. Now if only they'd send back the Simpson park plans too, we could keep the neighborhood still livable and enjoyable.

Where the hell are people supposed to park, if buildings are increased in height?! Parking has been awful lately. Between Ting, street paving, Dominion, American Water, and Washington Gas ALL doing random work on random streets, it's been a nightmare moving cars depending on the "no parking" signs put up the day before. Not to mention just getting around. [/quote]

You're not supposed to park.  Cars are the enemy.  [/quote]

Meters are coming to MTV. Installation is this Fall I believe.

That’s been in the works for a while, since precovid. I went to a random set of city council and then a parking committee meeting (long story) that happened to be about this so I stayed and listened. Basically there was some subcommittee studying the 1 hr vs 2 hr parking rules in OT and the interest in having similar meter parking in Del Ray. Both residents and some business owners were complaining that 1) 2 hour limits are not enforced, so people don’t move their cars) and 2) there are too many people spending HOURS at mind the mat and then going to lunch or hanging out at st Elmo’s, they said HOURS, so there isn’t enough turnover in spaces meaning customers who are running into the pet store or that random pottery store or ups can’t find anywhere to park for their quick errands.  Some retail owners were really upset about it.  The city wanted to make some money from meters.

I think this was 2018 or 2019. Anyway surprised it’s taken this long to finally do it. [/quote]
