APPROVEO: ~ THE HONORABLE CITY COUN~IL AND MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PLAINVIEW: We, the undersigned, operators of businesses in the 700 Block of Broadway, respectfully.petition the City Council to abolish the 45 minute parking regulation in said block and restore the 2 hour limit as in other areas where parking is controlled. The present 45 minute limit works an inconvenience and hardship on patronsl of our business. The 45 minute limit has not proved to be a reasonable regulation, and in addition to its adverse effect on business in this block, requires mo}e work by the gity's parking officers and interferes with the orderly enforcement of the 2 hour parking limit prevailing elsewhere. Since the 45 minute limit was imposed, parking conditions in this block have changed, and it is expected that parking conditions will continue to change completely eliminating the reason for having imposed the 45 minute limit earlier. The increased business during the coming Christma's season, makes necessary immediate action to relieve the hardships caused by the present 45 minute parking limit.
