The Public Works Commission Meeting is scheduled to start at 7 PM. Coming up are two agenda items (##6 and 7) covering three issues Establish Permit Parking Around the Circles Church at Woodrow and California. This is designed to restrict homeless access to the church by neighborhood bigots. [Staff report, letters, and proposal below] A New Ordinance Banning Night-time Parking of RV's between 2 AM and 6 AM unless Permits (with restrictive requirements) are paid for. The measure is city-wide. Permits will only be issued for city residents and only for the block they're living on. Living in the RV is specifically criminalized. Another ordinance allows the city to restripe parking places so as to exclude all large vehicles except those they authorize. The agenda is at http://www.cityofsantacruz.com/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/6825/30?backlist=%2fdepartments%2fpublic-works . I append the two proposed anti-RV ordinances as well as the staff report. More is available by checking the agenda above. |
This removed the current provision allowing oversized vehicles to park in smaller spots and authorizes restriping.
This bans parking city-wide for RV's between 2 AM and 6 AM unless (a) you buy a permit, (b) you're a resident, and (c) your vehicle is parked on the block where you live. Good luck, RV dwellers!
The Circles Church (at Woodrow and California) has (hopefully temporarily) abandoned the only Warming Program in the City--the Sunrise Hangout. It provided coffee and company from 4 AM to 9:30 AM Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Still the attack on homeless vehicles nearby hasn't stopped.
In spite of a questionable petition, which Pat Colby reports, had names from folks outside the area involved, and a hold-up in getting the public records, Public Works is chugging ahead with this latest Railroading the Wretched plan.
