This condition is causing potentially hazardous road conditions by limiting access for emergency vehicles. Conn Valley Road is a narrow, winding local residential roadway with minimal shoulders. For further details see attached Exhibit A "NCRPOSD Letter".

The proposed No Parking - Tow Away Zones are shown in red on the attached Exhibit B "AREA MAP".
