The Safety and Parking Advisory Commission’s (SPAC) Responses to Parking Proposals for the Old North in 2004 and 2013 (211)
As everyone knows, at its meeting on Thursday, June 13, SPAC
Commissioners voted unanimously not to to approve Staff’s proposed revised Old
North parking district.
Commissioners were united in believing that the proposal needs
much clarification and greater neighborhood support. They were also critical of
a number of specific features.
As a matter of historical context, I thought it might be
helpful to look at the minutes of the meeting at which this same Commission
considered the 2004 Old North parking proposal. They are reproduced here.

The September, 2004 Scramble to Develop N District Parking Support (208)
![]() |
# 4 (Redacted) |
Like the current survey, that one arrived on a holiday
weekend, only that time it was Labor Day weekend of 2004.
City officials had not told ONDNA activists when the mailing
would occur, so the timing was an unpleasant surprise coming at an awkward
moment because many residents were out of town.
Undaunted and led by Bruce Winterhalder, the then ONDNA
president, a list of every Old North residence was organized and canvas sheets
drawn up. A street-to-street, door-to-door canvas crew consisting of some nine
people was recruited.
