Landen Meadows Residents Forum

There was an ordinance change about 2 years ago relaxing the on street parking rules here in L-M. Used to be no overnight street parking, parking was only allowed on one side (If I remember correctly), this made driving through the neighborhood much easier than it is today.

I agree that a lot of the street parking is due to people not wanting to move cars around and probably a garage that is packed full. Some houses have short driveways, some have 6 cars!

You could complain to the city department of transportation and have them visit the neighborhood to see the conditions firsthand, but I doubt they will reverse their earlier decision.


You could go to the annual HOA meeting next month and voice your frustration........if they let you speak!

"What bothers me is so many people seem clueless at what to do when faced with a situation where they are passing a parked car in the face of oncoming traffic.

As far as I know - if the car is parked on your side of the road,  passing the oncoming car because of it - one is expected to stop before you reach the parked car to let the oncoming car pass with ease."

I am aware of how to navigate parked cars, and and there really is no bigger issue than safety to me. So when I almost get run over because of the problem, I think its something to voice a concern over. The issue is when there are two cars parked on either side of the road at an intersection or turn, and you can't see on-coming cars. And I'm sure you've noticed that people don't exactly drive the speedlimit in the neighborhood, particularly on Tamarron and Castlebay.

So glad you cited Covenants 7.03.  Is anyone else annoyed by the large boat in the driveway at 7322 Tamaron?  This homeowner is just being arrogant.  Not only do we get to look at this boat but also 2, not 1, 2 garbage cans in front of the driveway.  Hopefully the new management company will be able to do something about this flagrant violation.

That boat is actually on Tonawanda but regardless it is in direct violation of HOA rules. How it gets resolved I am not sure but hopefully the new management company will put some teeth into the HOA rules and enforce them. Seeing others' "stuff" left on the side of a garage (a rental unit I believe), cars parked on the grass, leaves left to blow through the neighborhood, uncut grass, the list goes on and makes me wonder why I pay to live here. The Board had better give a thorough explanation of where all the dues and special assessment money has gone or I won't be sending any more checks until they do.

btw...when is it official?

I'm just annoyed with people parking their unregistered cars in their driveway and then parking their vehicles on the street.. first of all, if its not registered and insured, it shouldn't be in your driveway, and secondly, if you chose to utilize your garage for something other than housing your car, thats fine. But stop parking on the street and crowding traffic because you're too lazy to move it!
