Council: Wake up, Chaffey
The residents weren't the only ones with strong words tonight. The mayor and council members had some pretty strong words, too, and it was directed to the Chaffey College board.
Some residents who live west of Chaffey College -- on San Felipe Court and San Andreas Drive -- are upset that students park in front of their homes, leaving no room for themselves and blocking their mailboxes.
It turns out, according to Traffic Engineer Jon Gillespie, the college recently built an office building in a spot where there was a parking lot. That means there are not only less parking spaces but a greater need for them.
Mayor Don Kurth wrote a letter to the community college board asking them to meet with the city on this issue. The board hasn't responded.
"It's shameful that Chaffey has not stepped up to the plate," Kurth said.
The council urged the irate residents to attend a Chaffey board meeting and complain to them.
Ironically, their board meeting takes place in the administration building, the same part of the campus that lacks parking spaces.
"If you go," Kurth said, "please don't park on San Felipe."
