There are a lot of vehicles being parked on the streets in Mar Cheri. The location of some of these parked vehicles is causing choke points (areas too narrow for large vehicles like fire trucks or an ambulance to safely pass). These vehicles also impede the visibility for homeowners to back out of their driveways. A car parked on the street must be moved every twenty-four hours. If a car will not be used for a few days, please store it in your garage or driveway.
Treasurer: Larry Barlow
