Business owners on Geary Avenue have contacted my office to share concerns regarding parked vehicles blocking commercial driveway access. These vehicles have prevented delivery vehicles from loading and unloading, causing significant disruption to businesses.

Transportation Services conducted a site visit that confirmed the issues impacting businesses and, as a solution, supports prohibiting standing at all times on the north side of Geary Avenue, west of Bartlett Avenue North. This improved parking restriction will better deter illegal parking and maintain driveway access for Geary businesses.
