Council begrudgingly approves preferential parking BY DAVID MARK SIMPSON Daily Press Staff Writer
PALISADES AVE City Council voted 41 on Tuesday night to approve preferential parking permits in the neighborhood near Goose Egg Park, but none of the council members was happy about it. The restrictions will allow 2hour parking from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. between Fourth and Seventh streets
on Palisades and Alta avenues. The restrictions will also be added on Seventh Street between Montana and Alta avenues. Residents can obtain permits and park beyond the 2-hour limit. Residents seeking preferential parking in their neighborhood can apply if they gather signatures from two-thirds of the residential units on the block. Residents of adjacent neighbor-
hoods, which already have preferential parking requirements, sometimes park in the Goose Egg Park neighborhood, speakers said during public testimony. Additionally, they complained that workers and business owners park in the neighborhood to avoid paying for parking. Spots adjacent to the twothirds-acre Goose Egg Park will SEE PARKING PAGE 8

BEAMING: Ned Kahn’s work sits atop Crossroads’ science center. Editor’s note: This is the fourth installment of a multi-part series about the new science complex at Crossroads School.
BY JEFFREY I. GOODMAN Daily Press Staff Writer

Crossroads School community it’s so much more than that. Perched atop the special projects pavilion of the private school’s new Science Education & Research Facility is a sculpture that officials see as a visual emblem of the campus and its commitment to SEE SCULPTURE PAGE 9
