feasible before we make the next move.

excerpt from a meeting.

(W-Br) Over the course of a series of public meetings,

the town council has heard and considered your
repeated requests to address our town's parking issue.
Specifically, you've objected to the comprehensive ban
on overnight street parking in our town. Many
residents without driveways have had to make use of
the Spring Street Parking Garage as a result. But
clearly, it is a major inconvenience to have to park far
from home every night. So in an ongoing effort to
address your objections, we have approved a plan that
will grant one free permit per household, giving
residents permission to park on any street at any time
in your neighborhood.
