Pictures taken this morning. The large trucks exceed the parking limits, Above a driver is playing dodge ball with the traffic. He is past the red zone into Mercy's driveway.
The passing cars used the center lane to pass the freight truck as he is parked past the limit lines on the street side. See picture #3, below. Mercy's buses heading the other way use this lane for turning left which is a potential conflict.
This picture shows the limit line. If you count the rear vision mirrors, the truck is way out into the lane. This is not a once in a while thing. It is a three day a week thing.
This show the front end of the truck. It far exceeds the parking limit...........................
Why we care.
1.)There were many meetings with Mercy prior to this expansion. We had in home visits by their staff. We feel we were lead down the garden path. Nary a word was spoken about our home being next to a freight handling depot, and bus stop with buses running many times per hour.
2.) There are no plans for Mercy to do anything differently after their expansion. They are required by code to have numerous additional commercial parking space. Where are the plans?
