Some observations: · The State Fair remote parking sites in Roseville do have radio communication connectivity and those persons working at these sites are referring folks to other available lots when their lot is full and explaining to them how to get there -- at least that is our experience based on our monitoring of all of these lots in Roseville, and that was my personal experience today when I took my daughter and a friend to Roseville High and was told that lot was full but Maplewood Mall's lot had room and I was given directions for getting there; · Eight days into the Fair we in Roseville have received so far only your complaint and one other, also from your household, about street parking adjacent to a State Fair park-and-ride lot in Roseville; . When we checked your neighborhood streets over the noon hour today (Eldridge, Dellwood, Skillman) there were few to no cars parked there - of course, today rain threatens and Fair attendance is probably down; . Our Public Works Department is authorized to limit street parking temporarily in particular exceptional situations -- please contact Public Works Director Duane Schwartz on his mobile, 651-775-3505, if you see a bad street parking situation in your neighborhood that you think may be attributable to the State Fair; . A more aggressive or widespread parking ban on city streets during the State Fair may be viewed as unequal or inconsistent treatment if it bans parking that is otherwise allowed on those streets at all other days and times during the year, or if we were to take such action without first giving all affected neighbors a chance to weigh in on the issue; . If parking should be banned year-round on certain streets where parking is currently allowed, that is a situation the City Council could certainly address after working with the neighborhood; . Police enforcement of temporary parking permits for neighbors and their friends in a context of a temporary ban on street parking for everyone else is extraordinarily difficult to manage; . Of course, if the Council wishes to give staff some direction about these situations, in addition to the parking conditions the Council has already created under the City Code and in addition to the conditions Council has already included within the temporary use permits for the State Fair park-and-ride lots, certainly the Council is free to do so. Best wishes, Neal Beets
