Dear Jack;
We have had further trouble at Cowan Pontiac
and King Street East, regarding the parking of vehicles
on the south side of King Street East on the curve.
The latest complaint was from a woman west bound
and became concerned when observing two school vans and a
car parked, at the same time the Fire Truck responding to
a call on Liberty Street South was east bound and had to
Pull wide into the west bound lane and the woman came close
to being hit by the truck.
. Is there any possibility of having i10 parking sins
errected on the south side of King Street East from Bvrwn St,,��
to Liberty Street.
Respectfully submitted
