The push for paid parking arose after residents noticed lack of available street parking due to use by residents in a nearby apartment complex, events hosted by Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, littering issues caused by non-residents, and instances of driveways being blocked by vehicles.
The blocks and streets that would be affected include: 7300-7500 blocks of New Hampshire Avenue (west side of New Hampshire Avenue along the "service road"), 1100 and 1200 blocks of Merwood Drive, 7300-7500 blocks of Wildwood Drive, and 1200 block of Kingwood Drive.
