Proposed Changes to Parking in Somerville

[lillibet]

I have sent the following email and thought I'd re-post it here in hopes of inspiring others to voice their concerns. Details about the proposed changes are available in this article.

Thanks for doing this.

Excellent letter!

Oh, well done. *3 snaps in Z formation*

I should get on some letter-writing myself.

*pauses*
*thinks*

Doesn't that require 4? :-)

[hammercock]

Heh...no, the way to think of it is to imagine making the three slashing motions of the Z letterform, with the snap coming at the end of each slash. :)

[melted_snowball]

*thinks some more*

I guess I do it both ways. Perhaps there is snap-queen dialect.

Good letter, thanks for writing. With the proposed changes, we could not have been a part of Winter's Tale. I'm really just confused about why they think this could help more than it is going to hurt.

thank you! i would have written but i suspect that since i own neither a house nor a business in somerville, my voice would not count for nearly so much.

It's not like they're cross checking.

I wrote, did not mention that I owned a house (oops! but it doesn't feel relevant, to me.), did mention the anecdote that loosened parking changes (for at least a little while, they took *away* meters in Teele Sq, in my memory, and just signed them 2h parking!) made my life easier when patronizing the dry cleaner in Teele that I have patronized for over a dozen years.

If you say something about "first moved to somervile more than a dozen years ago" you will probably establish plenty of cred anyway. Though I think being the artistic director of T@F still wins.
