Letter from the Editor:Not Following The Rules on Highland Ave Shame On Them

By William Tauro

Noticing this parking lot with only nine vehicles a on Medford Street behind Somerville High School and Somerville City Hall, which has the capacity of holding well over 50 vehicles.

There are only nine vehicles parking in this lot, as of today. I’ll tell you the reason why, because they took away 50 plus parking spots on Highland Avenue not to mention the side streets and they gave parking permits. So they have a free parking permit and free parking right near the high school on Highland Avenue taking away from residents and businesses. Question, why are the teachers not parking in this parking lot when residence cannot find a spot on Highland ave near the high school.
What should happen here is the signage on Highland Avenue that says no parking between 7 AM to 5:30 PM should be removed immediately. Give parking back to the residents and back to the businesses that need it so desperately.
