Bismarck Neighborhood Watch

First, please don't. Second, if you do, then stop.. its dangerous and causes bad feelings between neighbors.
While attempting to get info on irrigation I got lots more on street parking. Please take a moment to describe your parking problems, solutions you have tried, and other solutions that might work on a larger scale. Please keep in mind the covenants related to this topic and these can be found on the first page of the legacy point neighborhood page. I'll take these to the next board meeting for those who would like to attend but are unable.
Thanks
Dawn

Everyone,

After reading all these responses about parking in the streets, I have a few questions. Where do we park if we have company or a family gathering????

I have heard that no parking signs are going up, when, where, and who is going to enforce this? 

I'll have more questions as this post goes on.

Hi, Tony:

 It's my understanding that the Covenants freely provide for reasonable street-parking in the event of extraneous visits paid by friends and family, particularly on those occasions when company arrives for "Super Bowl Sunday," Christmas, Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July--and other special holidays or necessary layovers.  (Thus the inclusion of a three-day parking interval as written into the neighborhood contract.)  However, it should not be misconstrued, as it has apparently been misconstrued by at least one neighbor, that the three-day parking limitation is indeed an act loosely designed to allow a three-car family to freely rotate their vehicles as they see fit, or without genuine right or reason.  In a hypothetical situation, a Fayetteville court judge will likely accurately interpret the good intentions implicit in our Covenants, and subsequently rule that just such an automobile rotation--indeed practiced flagrantly or routinely, without regard for the concerns of neighbors--is in fact a violation and breach of faith as implicit in the contract, and worthy of monetary fine.

 In the end, it seems that reasonable folk would happily seek to abide in the rule, and opt for full usage of their driveways--as opposed to the public street.  With the inclusions of street signs, it's likely that local police and municipal courts will thereby be in a position to effectively correct a problem which should never have arisen to begin with.  Collective neighborhood cooperation is the key to a safe and aesthetically-pleasing living environment within our neighborhood, and had we enjoyed such cooperation from point-one, street signs would not have been necessary, sorry to say.  My hat is off to those who've worked hard to solve this ongoing problem.
