The Mercado Parking Committee is still seeking letters from neighbors reflecting opinions for or against permits.
ParkTucson (the city's parking authority) has a Residential Parking Permit Program. This prohibits parking within a neighborhood by non-residents and allows it only to residents who have purchased permits from the city. (See link). Adoption of the permit program requires approval by at least 75% of the property owners in the neighborhood.
In anticipation of potential neighborhood interest in parking permits, the MDMA Parking Committee will create a Voter Pamphlet. It will include relevant information about the program and arguments for or against permits. For practical reasons, arguments will be limited to 300 words. Also, depending on the number submitted, not all may be included if adequately covered by others. If you have a permit position on parking you want to share, please submit it to Rick Jones.
At long last, the 2025 update of the Mercado Neighborhood directory. Please check your entry for accuracy and send any edits/corrections to: mercadoneighborhood@gmail.com

Reminder for 'Dumpster Etiquette'. We share the dumpsters, so when it gets filled to the brim by one user, we all get set back a week. If you have typical landscape trimmings, cut them in short bundled lengths and limit the quantity. If possible, time larger projects for the next city's Brush and Bulky pick up on 9/8. All of items are left outside of the enclosure wall for this event only. Please do not leave the enclosures doors open and unattended. If you find the doors in this state it is OK to close and lock them, with the exception of Tuesday morning when John is at work gathering our alley donations to the dumpsters. And as always, collapse cardboard boxes that go into alley or directly dumpsters.
Street Sweeping dates: 9/20/25, 12/20/25
