Just following up on the Cortland St situation. This has been going on for 2 school years. I called DGS asked them evaluate the street, the ruts between the street/grass are terrible, the corner on Cortland/Adirondack is crumbled. (Nothing from DGS) This is all caused by cars trying to navigate driving with cars parked on both sides. I see user friendly signs/crosswalks all over the city. I don't understand why some streets (Beacon/Hillcrest/Sunset and surrounding streets in the Eagle Point neighborhood) have no parking signs and others are congested with cars. What makes their street better than Cortland/Adirondack and surrounding streets w/o signage. Don't we all pay taxes (school/property) so why aren't these streets in the same neighborhood treated differently?
Today there were cars on Cortland St (school staff) with empty parking spaces at the school. Why is that? Has there been any dicussion about adding more parking spaces on the school property?
Thank you. Patricia Serafino

Thanks for your comment. Hopefully, we'll get these issues resolved. Crosswalks/signage is a must. I called DGS today about fixing the street. We'll see what happens.

I have called DGS several times about fixing the street with no response.
