Summary

I am writing to respectfully request your support in re-opening Item TE32.83 in order to change the "No Standing" prohibition on Durham Ave, between Winnett Ave and Arlington Ave, to a "No Stopping" prohibition.  After adoption, residents of the street brought it to my office's attention that their petition had actually requested for a "No Stopping" prohibition.  This measure would help ease congestion on their street by deterring parents, who have kids attending schools in the area, from using the street as a standing/stopping zone while waiting to pick up their kids.
