Subject: Petition to resolve the critical safety and parking conditions at parking lots on
41$. Street Miami Beach.
The property owners, retail store owners and local residents are requesting the Miami Beach
City Commissioners to immediately provide relief and return the parking lots on 4l$ street, as an example
lot P63 and adjoining parking garage, to there original status as to parking availability for local residents,
parents, and businesses.
The unilateral actions by the City Manager has created a dangerous safety situation for the elementary
students, parents, local resident and business owners.
The transfer of hotel employees , construction workers and others who are not local residents of the 4l't
street area has created, which involves all day and all night parking by the same vehicles to the 4l't street
parking lots, has eliminated the ability of the elementary school pa"rents to safely drop offand pick up their
children creating serious safety issues to the students, residents and retail owners.
The lively hood of the retail stores and banks have been negatively effected, because the customers can't
find available parking and are now not using the services of these stores. Employers are losing sales and
will have to start taying off and reducing employee hours. As a side note owners of these business can't
find parking for their own vehicles so they can't open their establishments.
As stated above we are asking for immediate relief of this situation. This arbitrary policy, which has
created this situation, was done without consulting us' must be remedied.
Sincerely Yours,
41s Street Business
