GROWING PAINS
One needs only to drive around town Saturday after-
Moon, or most any afternoon, for that matter, to know that
Stamford is direly in need of a change in parking regulations.
What was permissible 10 years ago just won’t work today.
It has often been said that the best governed people, are
fbe least governed people, but the time always cornea when
laws affecting everyone must be passed because a few take
advantage of the many.
The parking problem is not a matter that Stamford
alone has had to face. Every progressive municipality has
passed through the same siege of growing pains. Time* was
when a man was content to tie his team at a hitching poet and
walk all over town doing his shopping. When he got an arm-
ful, he w<Suld go back to his wagon and unload, then start out
again.
But all that has been changed. With the advent of the
automobile, man has become lazy. Now he drives around the
square from store to store, double parks and runs into the
store to shop at his leisure. And in the meantime anyone who
is parked at the curb must pu^h the unoccupiod car out of
his way in order to move his car. In some instances people
have been known to double park their car and go to the
theater for two-or more hour*,- * -■-----——-
A continuation of this practice can onlyTesult in a pen-
I alty for the city in one form or another. State highway
engineers are very familiar with the doubleparking menace
and for that reason will route main highways around a town.
Stamford is lucky in that both main arteries pass right
! around the square and business houses profit by this tran-
sient business. But that can be changed. It doesn’t take much
I imagination to picture what would happen in case of a major
fire on the square—another big loss and a further extension
. j£>f the/iraur***r portal»y ;
Nothing rash should be done about the matter. It can be
worked out where mo one will be hurt. The usual objection
K beard is that the iarmer will, cease to come to town if he
I can’t find a .Sfk. Rut mer is pefikllza^^iiib ^
[ much as anyone else-whrt?*©^ can’t get down the afreet tor
r abandoned cars. Farmers are intelligent people; they know
j they would benefit if the abandoned car menace were cor-
| rected. Besides they are not the only offenders.
| A program of education on the part of some civic organiza-
tion should help immeasurably. Why wouldn’t it be proper
L- for the merchants committee of the Chamber of Commerce
I to tackle this job? After all, they are affected more than
any other group.
We would suggest that no action be taken against car
I owners who leave another driver in the car while they double
park, as long as they observe a nominal time limit. The prob-
| lam to be whipped is the parked empty car in the middle of
pp'lht ntrert These cars should be tagged with, courtesy tags,
calling attention to the offense. A record should be kept of
the offense and after a specified time, more 'drastic action
taken. * 1 ,
