We have been notified that our proposed Parking Permit Program will be heard at the next Clayton City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 16 at 7 PM.
We need to get the word out and pack the place, so please plan on attending and tell your family and friends to attend.
The approval of "The Olivia on Marsh Creek," an 81-unit high-density housing project downtown, failed to mandate adequate parking for residents. The city allowed the developer of the Olivia project to provide less than 100 onsite parking spaces for the 81 units with no offsite parking spaces identified.
This oversight enables parking to spill over into surrounding neighborhoods and downtown areas, which increases traffic, noise, and inconvenience while infringing on homeowners' and renters' rights to peacefully enjoy their properties.
The Clayton City Council must act now to implement a residential permit parking program with downtown restrictions. Additionally, all future housing projects should provide ample on-site parking to prevent community impacts.
It's time for the City Council to Just Say "No" to developers and listen to their constituents.
Let us work together to preserve the character of our downtown and our neighborhoods while allowing for managed and controlled growth in the right locations.
We appreciate you for reading this article.
