You have the combination of the people who live there and the people who try to park there as commuters because they're driving in there from someplace else. Curb and guttering will be put on the streets in designated areas. Most streets in the area have no curbs. There is gravel or grass at the edge of the street where there would normally be a curb. This area is called a street terrace.
Many residents park their vehicles on the terraces.
And that sort of clutters up the street. Under the new ordinance, the city will work with landowners. Each landowner will have the choice of allowing the city to pave the terrace and put in a high curb at the edge of the street so that parking on this land will no longer be possible. Some landowners have lots, driveways and back alleys on their property for parking. Others depend on the on-street parking and terraces for their residents, Wrighton said.
