Shared use of Dead Space in Pedro

There is nothing more annoying than driving down Gaffey past the Gaffey Street Diner with traffic backed up due to people parking on the street. This is an accident waiting to happen.

Right next door is an empty lot. In some cities these vacant lots are not screened off, they are considered extra parking. Now I am not talking about asphalt or concrete, but throw down some gravel and let folks use the lot. Get the parking off the street. Given how this would relieve traffic the city should be able to cut a deal with the property owner to allow parking on the lot. The parking lot would be a lot better than some raggedy old chain link fence.

Sometimes it is the simple solutions, if only people would talk to each other, that can make our lives better.
