Dear Editor:
I have lived at 74 Merrivale St. for approximately 15 years and never had a parking problem like there is now.
We have 16 apartments in our building with a parking garage for eight cars and parking on Merrivale for approximately four cars. The parking across the street has been taken away for school drop-off and pickup.
The two-hour parking without a permit has never been enforced the whole time the school was being built.
We need some of the parking across the street returned for residents with a parking permit to park when they return home from shopping or a doctor’s appointment.
I feel there was no thought about the residents at all. I feel I’m being forced out of my apartment with the loss of parking.
