Description

I have accepted the fact that the city removed day time parking restrictions and altered the evening restrictions that provided ease of access for the Whiden Hospital Employees due to the parking garage construction that began in 2014 and is still on going. I get that politicians need political alliances to facilitate and maintain their positions "everyone needs to earn a living". Subsequently due to low turn out at the discussion meeting the ruling was put through and we lost our parking protection. Initially the hospital employees only consumed all of our parking from 6am - 3pm however now it is an all day and weekend ordeal. 2nd and 3rd shift and weekend employees are taking all of our parking. I have battled this from the very beginning but I have no strength against the city manager. I am writing to you now in hopes that you can provide me with direction on what to do. I no longer can have guests visit as they have no place to park my once happy home has been encumbered. The neighbors are so sick and tired of hospital parkers that they have resorted to parking all of their vehicles on the street rather than in their driveways as a measure to dissuade hospital parkers this results in no parking available in a 2-3 block radius. It is awful up here and absolutely NO ONE in city hall cares... I am in tears, I am beginning to resent living in Chelsea, This is my home I built and remade it I am attached to it YET I am being held prisoner in a very unhappy situation taken advantage of by politicians and I have no available recourse.. There is not even a city lot up here for people to park in there is not available space. WHY HAVE THEY CITY POLITICIANS DONE THIS TO US FOR A HSOPITAL THAT SITS IN EVERET? The city of Chelsea does not benefit from this hospital albeit the city politicians who benefit personally.

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? Are we to supposed to be driven from the homes we have made?
