Neighbors have united to call attention to the problems and to seek county help for solutions.
“The illegal parking on Macarthur is a huge issue that has been going on for years. There doesn t seem to be the will on the part of the government to enforce the ‘no parking.’ Unless that is dealt with, all attempts for enhancement will be for naught,” one neighbor wrote on the macarthurblvdgooglegroups page.
Another expanded on the problem: “I think there are two major issues for seeking assistance from MCDOT:
“1. Traffic calming measures and shared use on MacArthur
“2. Residential parking impact
“Both issues existed prior to the pandemic, but have been exacerbated by the large influx of visitors to/through the area. I believe there have been two crashes near Old Angler s between a cyclist and driver since July, one fatal.”
