The department installed signs Thursday prohibiting parking between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on school days. The south side of the block has had that same limitation for several years. Craver said two-thirds of homeowners and residents on the north side of the block presented a petition to the city at the end of February requesting the limitation. Mayme Matson, a Princeton Street resident, said she has lived on the street for more than 45 years and said she is pleased the petition was accepted. Our driveways get blocked.
Garbage trucks have to come real early, and so does the recycling company.
Student reactions about the restriction were mixed. Amy Sowards, a junior studio art major, said she often parks on the block because it is close to the Moudy Building, where most of her classes meet. She said she has never seen cars blocking driveways. That's the only time we need to park there. However, Davin Snodgrass, a junior graphic design major, said the new parking lot behind the Beasley Building makes up for the lost parking on Princeton Street.
