• An application for temporary “No Parking” signs from the United States Postal Service, represented by Mrs. Miller in her capacity as Washington’s Postmaster. She explained that constant use of the Post Office’s four reserved parking spaces in front of the building by people conducting business is causing a traffic hazard, with cars double parking and backing out into Main Street. Also, she said, complaints have been received from elderly and infirm customers who have been forced to park their cars elsewhere and walk to the office.
Mrs. Miller added that the limited parking is in force 24 hours a day, since the post office lobby is open all night.
Mr. Thomasson replied that he felt many people are not aware of the parking restriction outside regular post office hours.
She added that once the signs are in place the Postal Service will request the Sheriffs Department to ticket vehicles parked illegally, or perhaps have them towed away. “People might think it’s nitpicking, but it’s a safety issue,” she said, adding that the Postal Service is in the midst of a major campaign to stress safety for both employees and customers.
The two blue and white signs will be placed on each side of the four spaces. Permanent signs more appropriate to the town may be substituted later, Mrs. Miller added.
