I am very disappointed in the recent City Council decision to ban all on-street parking around the Petrol Point area around McIntosh High School.

I will say up front that this right now will not affect me or my child since she has a parking permit. There are no more permits available for these students who park on the street. What is the city prepared to do to accommodate these students?

Please offer a solution instead of a complete ban. Do not offer the school bus. Many students cannot ride the bus because they have after-school activities.

All the other schools in Fayette County have ample parking. McIntosh does not.

This seems to be a recurring problem at McIntosh. The students have to line up for the lottery in the middle of the summer to get a space.

I cannot believe that the city decided to do this AFTER school started, giving everyone (students and school board) no time to make other arrangements. I do not believe two weeks is ample time.

I am very very disappointed in their treatment of the high school students at McIntosh. I am also disappointed in the business owners in the area. Many of their clients are students and their parents.
