There are 51 units at Bluebird? A combination of unit sizes. Mostly likely double occupancy on most units. I think it would be fair to estimate 75-100 new vehicles. Bluebird has 46 parking spots. 16 of which are double deep so one car will have to be moved to the street to let the other car out. In addition the parking spots are very difficult to navigate. One can assume a tenant is not going to use the parking spot unless they are parking for an extended amount of time or there is no other street parking available. So at a minimum that is 37 new vehicles added to the street in that parking quadrant. Originally the plan was to collect tenant vehicle information and prohibit them from parking on the street. I assume after running that by the city's legal counsel they decided that plan could not be put in place. That is how they came up with the idea for the signs. They are not going to be able to prohibit bluebird tenets from parking on the street. The streets are public and the bluebird tenants have just as much right to use a public resource as much as everyone else. They can convert more spaces to "2" hour but that will just drive the vehicles to other blocks. The city is not going to be able "sign" there way out of this.
I totally agree about the Hysterical, whoops I mean Historical Commission. We've lost all but one building that was on the National Register; Griffiths Grocery. Ketchum Drug and the Lane Mercantile are still around , but were declassified because of exterior modifications. The Bald Mountain Hot Springs was dismantled and I think is at a private hunting club in Hagerman? Anyway, some cool memories still standing but unless owned by someone with the passion to keep them, there is not much hope for government support to do so. Thank you to the owners that have that passion.
"Ketchum has been co-opted into developing it." The cities are in the business of development, Hailey's the same. Hailey has a position called Community Development, which, when talking with them, they only have one objective, more,more, more, there interest are businesses, and obtaining more land for development, extending the sprawl, forget the community, let's exploit the land.
Perry, I'd like to have a conversation with you about URA and HURA, how their funded or direct me to anything you've written. Respond to bayside748@yahoo.com
