During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding parking issues at 7th Avenue Park, particularly as soccer season kicks off. Officer Bailey responded to a situation that, while not an emergency, highlighted ongoing confusion among park visitors about the parking layout.

Attendees noted that many people mistakenly believe the park has a one-way traffic flow, entering from the south and exiting to the north, despite the absence of clear signage and faded road markings. This misunderstanding has led to conflicts, particularly with vehicles parking improperly, including one instance where a large truck was parked on the grass and sidewalk near handicap stalls.

Despite the evident parking challenges, Officer Bailey reportedly made a loop around the area without taking any action to address the violations. With the influx of visitors expected for soccer games, the need for clearer parking regulations and enforcement has become increasingly urgent. The community is calling for improved signage and more proactive measures to ensure safety and accessibility at the park.
