[RBS] Parking RBS Mercaz action item: seeking volunteers to sign up residents

[Aryeh Koenigsberg]

Listers,

I'm happy to coordinate volunteers to stand at the RBS Mercaz
Mischari this Friday, February 4, 2011, to solicit residents to
sign this petition, below, about the parking problem.

If you want to help with coordinating or by soliciting signatures,
even for 30 minutes, contact me by reply (email address as below).

If alot of us put in a little effort each, together we can
win this campaign -- and show ourselves and the city
that we can accomplish great things, for the benefit of
the greater community.

> Ephraim Naiman and I met today with R' Moshe Montag, a city council member
> who is very involved with the parking issues. We discussed the short-term
> and long term issues at length.
>
> SUMMARY: The city is calling a meeting with the rental car companies as soon
> as next week. The rental car places are feeling pressure, one of them even
> approached the city late last week to discuss options.
>
> Montag felt that the more pressure they feel, the easier it will be to come
> to an agreement with them. He suggested continuing the petition in full
> force, and that people should speak to the car rental companies directly,
> too.
>
> PLEASE, if you haven't signed yet, please do so now, for you and your
> spouse, and for anyone else in your family who is affected by the driving
> around looking for spots, even if they don't drive.

>
> We all understand that the car rental companies are NOT the only parking
> space users. There are the residents of the buildings who should be parking
> in their under-building parking; the advertising vehicles; as well as people
> selling cars.
>
> We discussed solutions that deal with all of these issues.
