Dear Members of City Council,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak at the council
meeting last night. As I was out of breath after running to the Council
Chambers and somewhat nervous, I feel like I did not make my point clearly.
To clarify, as roller-hockey players we have chosen the location and
time for our games (the top level of the new parking garage, at night) for
three basic reasons:
1) Safety (lack of traffic)
2) Ideal playing conditions (excellent lighting; a large, smooth surface
surrounded by high walls)
3) Public consideration (isolation from residences, thus avoiding noise
problems; minimal possibility of property damage)
I hope that there is some solution to the general problem that will still
allow us at least this location for rollerblading.
Thank you again for your patience and your careful consideration of
this matter.
Sincerely,
john Casteiloe

Re:
Additional Handicap Parking in the 200 Block of East Washington Street
As directed by Title 9, Chapter 1, Section 3 of the City Code, this is to advise you of the
following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 9-1-3A14 of the City Code, the City Traffic Engineer will authorize the
conversion of the metered parking stall known as W59 to be converted to handicapped
parking. Parking stall W59 is on the south side, mid-block of the 200 block of East
Washington Street. This action will take place on or shortly after November 30, 1995.
COMMENT:
In the summer of 1995 the Engineering Division had prepared plans which would have
developed a handicapped parking stall at the west end of the south side of the 200 block of
East Washington Street. Because of difficulties with the bids that were returned to the City,
this project has been postponed until the spring of 1996. The action noted above is intended
to be an interim action. The handicapped parking currently by this memorandum being
created at W59 will be moved to the west end of the block upon the completion of the relet
project in the spring of 1996.
