Traditionally, signs have been placed on streets from Goliad through Morningside. Last year the no-parking designation was expanded to Belmont through Lewis. This year, some major streets will have no-parking signs on both sides of the street. At LGNA’s request, the city has added McCommas and Ross to the streets with no parking signs, and there will be special arrangements for blocks which are affected by resident-only parking or which already have permanent no-parking.

Signs will be placed by 10:00 a.m. Friday to accommodate the City ordinance requiring 24 hours’ notice. LGNA has requested more explanatory wording on the signs to help alleviate some of the confusion with last year’s signs.

At the request of both the fire department (to allow passage of fire trucks) and the neighborhood associations involved – Lower Greenville, Vickery Place, and Greenland Hills – no-parking signs were initiated by the City several years ago. Over the years, these three neighborhood associations have worked with the City of Dallas who issues the event permit and the Greenville Commerce Association which hosts the event to ensure that the event remains well managed. LGNA’s goal is to maintain respect for the quality of life in our neighborhood while we’re celebrating this long-standing Lower Greenville tradition.

In addition to the no-parking signs, DPD has scheduled additional police officers for the neighborhood and arranged additional trash receptacles and clean-up crews. The City has also arranged to stage tow trucks to remove vehicles that violate no-parking signs and block driveways. DPD instructs that parking violations should be reported by calling 911. For those hosting private parties, Dallas Code Compliance inspectors will be patrolling to issue citations and/or tow vehicles parked on lawns or blocking sidewalks at private parties. Residents are encouraged to call 911 to report parties which encroach upon neighboring yards, are charging admission, amplifying music excessively, etc.

There were complaints last year that there were not enough 911 operators and that calls were not going through. It was determined that the problem was cell-phone overload, not the 911 system. Land-line phones were able to get through. DPD provided a dedicated 911 operator for Lower Greenville calls last year and will do so again this year. Please try to use a land line if calling 911 during the event.

No-parking signs for the LGNA neighborhood will be assembled, posted, and removed by LGNA Volunteers and DPD-sponsored Explorer Troops. Your Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association urgently needs volunteers for these tasks.
