What Atherton's permit-parking program will look like for Maple Manor
Summary
The police outlined how the permit program will work: permits assigned to residences (typically six per household), temporary visitor permits available from dispatch, and enforcement requiring visible permits during restricted hours; staff will mail permits and order signage.
The police chief explained operational details of the proposed permit-parking program the council approved: permits would be assigned to a residence (typically six per home, with options for more), temporary permits would remain available from dispatch, and enforcement would require a displayed permit during restricted hours.
The chief emphasized that assigning permits to a specific residence allows officers to contact households when unauthorized vehicles are found. He said staff would coordinate signage placement with neighbors to address aesthetic concerns and would mail permits to each household. Council members noted the program model already operates in other neighborhoods (Ashfield, Maplefield) and costs little or nothing to implement.
Council members also raised administrative suggestions: limiting school-issued permits to control on-street inventory and maintaining flexibility to tweak restricted hours if conditions change. Staff indicated they will implement the signage order immediately and mail permit materials to residents.
