EXCUSE THE WRITING, (I AM GOING FROM MEMORY)  
I HAVE [REDACTED] AND CAN  
BARELY WALK, MAYBE 100 FEET

I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN  
THE MOBILE HOME PARK WHO

WITH MORE THAN ONE VEHICLE

SPENCER RD. ANY CONSTRUCTION ON  
THIS PROPERTY WILL REQUIRE TRADES  
TO PARK ON SPENCER RD WHICH  
CREATES A HAZARD FOR SCOOTER  
USERS & PEDESTRIANS, PARTICULARLY  
CONCERNING THE SPEED THAT SPENCER  
RD IS DRIVEN.

YOU CAN NOT USE PRESTON WAY  
BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL AT THE  
SOUTH END

PLEASE HELP US OLD FOLK  
OUT, DO NOT REDUCE PARKING  
ON THE LOT, OR FIND ANOTHER  
ALTERNATIVE

THANK YOU  
[REDACTED]
