ARE YOU A "PROPER PARKER?"

IF SO, WE NEED YOU!

To improve safety and reduce the number of parking violations in the neighborhood, the Marcy-Holmes Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is looking for residents to keep an eye on our streets and help flag vehicles that are blocking driveways, parked too close to stop signs/crosswalks, or are otherwise parked illegally. As a volunteer “proper parker,” you will place a flyer on the windshield of the car, informing the vehicle owner of his/her infraction. We need your help. Time commitment is minimal, training and refreshments provided.
 
To volunteer, please fill out THIS FORM

If you have questions about this project, please contact:

Join your Marcy-Holmes neighbors and people working nearby as we care for our Mississippi River together.
