Description

This issue is regarding the parking signs on the west side of 8th street near the intersection with Monroe St. The issue is that there are two No Parking signs. The one closest to the intersection indicates "No Parking ----->" (no parking from sign to the intersection).

There is a second sign just 10 yards away that says "No Parking <------>" (no parking in either direction).

So the problem is that it is not clear where EXACTLY it is OK to park.

My opinion is that the street there is too narrow to allow parking as well as the on-street MBT. I think that narrow section of 8th should have NO PARKING on it.

My suggestion is to fix the sign near the intersection so it says No Parking <------> so everybody knows you can't park on this block. This would make it safer for cyclists and motorists turning onto 8th from Monroe.
