Residents press commission on parking near post office; advised to take complaint to Town Council
Summary
Residents told the Planning and Zoning Commission they face persistent parking problems near the post office from customers and employees of nearby businesses. The commission advised filing a written complaint with Town Council and noted parking enforcement and business licensing are council responsibilities.
Several neighborhood residents raised ongoing parking problems around the post office during public comment at the April 30 meeting, saying customers and employees from a gas station, coffee shop and tour businesses regularly park on their street and block access to the post office.
Residents said there is insufficient off-street parking at the businesses and that vehicles—including motorcycles—often park on the residential block for 15–20 minutes at a time, impeding neighborhood access. Commissioners said the Planning and Zoning Commission does not generally enforce business parking and urged residents to file a written complaint with the Town Council, which is responsible for business licensing and parking regulations. Commissioners also suggested adding the issue to the Town Council agenda for the next meeting.
The commission recorded the complaints and provided procedural guidance; no enforcement action or ordinance change was taken at the meeting. Residents said they will pursue the Town Council route to seek long-term solutions.
