The problem, longstanding, is apparently that parked cars in those 5 or 6 spaces create a *choke point* in what is supposed to be 2-lane traffic flow, particularly during weekday rush hours.

I believe the Mt.

If not, the next step would be removal. The Chief of Police seemed OK with this approach during a recent public discussion session.
