01/18/10 94 W, 1 I - + 12 - 8 Ban Street Parking on Glenwood Avenue in Five Points?
Alright apparatus and emergency vehicle drivers, what are your opinions of on-street parking on Glenwood Avenue through Five Points? Two columnists debate the topic in today's News & Observer. Myself, as someone who travels that route a number of times each week, allowing for parked cars on a heavily traveled roadway seems entirely asinine. But I am neither a local business owner, nor play one on television. Now if someone would call attention to the rough roads through there, as well...

Heck, yes. By banning parking on this stretch, you’re only affected 1 or 2 parkers at a time (per business). All the other business patrons already have to find other off-Glenwood parking, so it exists somewhere around there. Traffic is no longer “7-9am and 4-6pm”. Traffic is all day long around here.
