Charles Wrzesinski  The new "No Parking" edict approved by the
Jackson City Council is not only ill-conceived but an affront to
the hundreds of city residents not given advance notice their
parking was being taken away for five months of the year.
Prohibiting parking on the north and west sides of streets for a
southwest section of the city from Dec. 1 to April 30 — an
"experiment" to supposedly improve snow removal — makes
absolutely no sense and should be stopped. Why is the council,
and City Hall staffers, wanting to change a system that
basically has worked ever since snowplows were invented?  Sure,
when it snows enough for the plows to come out now and then,
they have to go around parked cars. But they can and they do,
and the inconvenience is just something to be end
