 The permit parking system, operates from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily, in accordance with alternate side parking and parking, when otherwise permitted, is allowed for a maximum period of three hours.

 Residents have requested that the changes as noted in Recommendation No. 1 be implemented as these dates more closely meet their needs.
