Parking

I agree with Jackie Keizer; parking on Deermount is already strained
to the max as these old city houses weren't planned as well as
other newer homes. If the city would buy the rock quarry behind
Deermount and turn it into a parking lot that might be an option
but one has to wonder if taking the parking off Deermount by
fiat caters to folks who aren't residents. I would have to bring
my car up the 48 steps to my house if this happens.
I would like to add that the parking lot that is available on
lower Deermont is a disgrace. I pick vodka bottles out of it
sometimes by the hundred on a monthly basis (some poor soul is
putting a hurtin' on their liver). Then there is an old metal
tank and a tree stump to stare at that present the lot in such
a way that some must add their waste to it because perhaps they
are fooled into thinking the landfill starts there.
