Dear Resident:
Zunderstand that the parking of vehicles during the Six Flag season interferes with
many aspects of every day life including solid waste collection, emergency vehicle
access, and most importantly your right to privacy. -.qXe—_09_ Y_A_ fttHtiple complaints

The streets included would be Kanawha Avenue, Ruskin Avenue, Sunnyslope
Avenue, Woodcliff Avenue, Riverview Avenue, Veranda Avenue and Mark Drive.
A no-parking zone would enable residents....
The Agawam City Council Public Safety Sub-Committee is currently reviewing
information to create a new Ordinance that would give the Police Department the
power of enforcement to act on complaints within this area. We are discussing the
possibility of residential parking permits as well.
Feedback from the residents directly affected is important. Therefore we would like
you to,contact us with.......or take this short survey/questionnaire.....
Respectfully submitted,
James P. Cichetti, Chair Dennis J. Perry Robert E. Rossi
