Thanks for the link! I just sent in the request as well so hopefully something will be done to improve the conditions.
As far as the indentations... this seems to be a common request that people would like to see, but it isn't as easy to do as it seems. There are numerous factors that go into widening a street and is extremely costly to do so (even just for indents). It's not something I'd prefer my tax dollars to go to when there are more pressing matters. Not to mention, the existing indentations are made wide enough to accomadate a normal sized vehicle without impacting the flow of traffic. The problem is that people don't tend to park close enough to the curb or other cars. You could plan for the type of crowds all day long, but the fact of the matter is that allowing for more parking isn't the issue, safety is. Until people start ensuring their children aren't running across the street, drivers stop getting distracted while driving, and convienance becomes less of a priority, we will have the same problems over and over again. Eastlake Elementary had some similiar problems at first and the no parking signs have helped the road tremendously. There is nothing wrong with expecting people to walk a little further since there is clearly enough parking available in other locations just a short walk away. We just need something to force people to do so!
