2 <br />I do not feel it is safe for my children to ride their bikes on their own street for at least four <br />evenings of the week! Frequently, people park along the yellow -lined no parking zone, <br />further exacerbating the problem. For instance, or the evening ofMay 18, 1994, four cars <br />Were ills #. ly parked along the yellow line on the north Bide of Royal Lane, making the <br />curve particularly hazakdous. During a baseball game, it would be difficult,, if not <br />hnpossible, for an emergency vehicle or fire truck to get around the curve into the <br />neighborhood. It is imperative that changes be made! <br />I propose that parking be allowed on only one side of the street, on both Royal Lane and <br />West Floral Drive, to allow for improved visibility and clear passage. Parking would be <br />allowed only on the south side of Royal Lane, keeping the park entrance open. This would <br />prevent a child darting out from between parked cars as well as lessen. the impact on the <br />homes on the block (the south side has a long stretch without residences). Parking would be <br />banned on the north side of Royal Lane. Conversely, parking would be allowed only on <br />the north side ofWest Floral Drive (which has a stretch of open space along the park). <br />Parking would be banned on the south side ofWest Floral Drive. Letters should be sent to <br />coaches ofLittle League teams infonning them of these pealcing changes. Additionally, NO <br />PARKING THIS SIDE OF THE STREET signs should be posted in the affected areas. <br />These charges should be implemented as soon as possible to prevent a serious accident. <br />These proposed changes will definitely move the situation. However, making <br />scheduling cis (beginning in 1995) will more electively a vent safety problems as <br />well as decrease disruption to the neighborhood residents. As stated earlier, Floral Park is <br />not designed, nor is it equipped to handle the present volume oftraffic. Currently, we have <br />cars parked in front of our home minimally four titres a week (often six, due to . ractices <br />p ) <br />A is difficult to mow our lawn, and as people walk on our lawn getting in and out of their <br />cars, they frequently leave trash behind. My children cannot play in our front yard without <br />many strangers walking trough. As stated before, cannot think of another neighborhood <br />that suffers this much negative impact 1 believe that the Floral Park neighborhood should <br />not have to either! <br />The proposed parking changes will alleviate the nuisance problem somewhat However, I <br />propose that, beginning in 1 995, Floral Park be designated a practice park. Five or six <br />cars parking on the street during practices would be a vast improvement. 1 realize that <br />there is a ball Meld shortage, but Floral Park should be given the lightest possible schedule <br />of games, only alter other fields are exhausted. For example, on the evening ofMay 5, <br />1994, one ofile fields at Island Lake was open while Floral had a scheduled game, and on <br />the evening ofMay 12, 1994, both fields at Island Lake were open while Floral had a <br />scheduled game. Alternatively, Fall fields are saturated, Floral could be designated for <br />T -ball, which has a shorter season. oral's field does not drain well after rya;, TTball <br />games would not need to be rescheduled as is often a problem for Little League games <br />scheduled at Floral. Even with the ball field shortage, believe that some combination of <br />these proposals could be implemented. <br />
