Letter to Mayor and Council re: Parking at 2780 Spencer Rd
Handwritten letter addressed to the Mayor and Council raising concerns about a proposal to reduce parking at 2780 Spencer Road. The writer explains that residents (particularly elderly residents who use scooters) of a nearby mobile home park rely on the parking and that removing spaces would create safety and accessibility problems.
Key facts
- Received stamp: OCT 30 2020 (Planning Department, City of Langford)
- Property/address mentioned: 2780 Spencer Rd
- Request: Do not reduce parking on the lot or find an alternative
- Concern: Reduced parking at 2780 Spencer Rd will force families/vehicles to park elsewhere (creating hazards)
- Accessibility issue: Several elderly/disabled residents in the mobile home park require scooters (author notes need for a scooter and estimates 'maybe 100 feet' to get around)
