(Mike, i think your last message may have been garbled. Did you mean "more" instead of "less"? I dont view off-street parking as a negative. The absence of public parking is a negative.) You may thin...

I think that the concern about it being a narrow street is related to safety with increased traffic, not possibility to park. I'm glad we've finally arrived at an objective and debatable position: Is...

Parking is attributed to its source: where it comes from. The original Rowena street supplies a certain amount of parking, and this parking is available for public and private use. The new development...

I have not said that the Rowena neighbors are personally providing parking. I said that Rowena has the parking; it's there beause the developers of Rowena (50 hyears aog?) provided for on-street and o...

You keep talking about off-street parking. But what really matters is total amount of parking. The Rowena residents only asked for closure in response to the developers being unwilling to provide a co...

Well, I'm not done with the parking arguments, because the things people are saying here don't make sense. I agree that the parking doesn't belong to me. But you have to admit that it exists, and the...

Oh come on! I wasn't claiming that I own the spots. I know some people feel that way about it, but I don't. Lots of people park on them. The point is that they *exist* and provide overflow parking for...

Its hard to tell from your photos, but I thought that the "street" would have continuous driveways all along it giving access to garages. As a result, there is no room for parking on the street. I can...

The development will not have a normal street, even if you connect it to Rowena. Its a high-density comdominum complex, with driveways to get to parking....

I don't think the development will have "streets". Its just going to have driveways to get to the condo parking lots. I saw the plan briefly, so I can't remember enough to be sure of this....

The streets in HP vary considerably in width. I looked at Rowena on the Google map, and you can't really tell that its narrow. So it must be just a few feet substandard. But people do park on both sid...

Mike, its not so simple as your simple facts! A typical block in that part of HP has 15 houss. on it. You could fit 2.5 or maybe 3 such blocks in the property being developed. That would be about 38 ...

I asked the HP newsgruop for some explanation of the issues involved, and here is what I got back: I asked for some details about what happend in he meetings, and this is what I got back, from someon...

By the way, the agreement was actually reached by the Rowena street residents and the developers. The neighborhood association just gave its support to this compromise at a general meeting, after all ...

Ooops.. I had said on another blog that I didn't agree with the decision. I'm a bicyclist myself, and i'm in favor of open access. Unfortunately this is a fairly local issue, because this property is ...

I'm the HP mailing list moderator who Mike mentioned. You all are making a lot of assumptions and accusations here. As I said, I don't agree with the decision, my guess is that it is a classic issue o...
