The shared parking lot at the southern side of southern community park/dog park/disc golf is a mess People illegally park on both sides of entrances making it impossible to enter or exit safely A woman just challenged me head on with her car insisting that i reverse out of an exit so that she could enter the lot I was leaving Though, cars on both sides of my larger vehicle and on the curb made it unsafe for me to do so I made her back out one car length into dogwood drive so I could leave It's my understanding that there is supposed to be entry from both sides but I don't know for certain bc there is no discernible signage visible or markings on the lot
So, either the entry and exit for one way needs to be clear & or some monitoring of appropriate use parking needs to happen immediately It's a bungled, unsafe mess Kids have soccer Please walk their dogs It shouldn't be a near collision every time someone comes that way

Why are these handicapped spots here? I've never seen anyone use them, ever, and I am here many times a week to go to the gym They aren't convenient for anyone with a wheelchair In fact right now I see a handicapped vehicle with a wheelchair parked in a different spot right in front of these spots-no clue why These are precious spots as they are in the shade and there aren't enough spots here in general -

I've spoken to several people, including the former and current Head of Parking. I've been told the Fire Marshal agrees. And, I used CH Public Transit after surgery recently. Carver Street is NOT a two lane road. It's actually dangerous when it's full of parked cars on one side. Emergency vehicles cannot get through. There is no sidewalk. I cannot walk my dogs safely. I would like to see permit parking only, and only parking for those without driveways.
