Constituent shocked
January 31, 2008
To the editor:
This is an open letter to Mr. Don Studnicka, Ward 2 "representative."
'Shocked' is the only way I can describe the negative position you took against our petition on student parking along Hithergreen Drive. Yes, Mr. Studnicka, you were the lone member of the Lansing City Council to speak out against the very citizens you represent. Did you not hear us? Did you not hear when we spoke at the council meeting on Jan. 17 that of the 34 homes along Hithergreen who answered our call, 43 residents signed supporting our petition against students parking on Hithergreen Drive? Were the nine different color photos we also presented on illegal student parking meaningless to you? Whatever happened to elected officials representing the needs and interests of their constituents? Why did you speak out against the overwhelming majority of the citizens living along Hithergreen Drive, living right adjacent to you? Was it due to ignorance or arrogance? Whatever your reason, can you hear us now?

What are you looking forward to most with the warming weather this spring?
Just getting out of the house and playing with the kids.

God for bid someone parks on a public street. And who really has this much time on their hands that they take photos of students cars? Get a hobby and quit worrying about a bunch of 16 and 17 year olds that are parking to go to school.

By the way you cant prevent one specific group from parking on a street, it is either everyone can or no one can. You can't just target students, regardless of how many people signed your petition. I am just glad Mr. Studnicka realizes that the police and city are going way beyond their duty and wasting everyone's time with this issue.
