Yesterday before the market opened, Ana Edwards, Byrd House Market Manager, sent this email:
Greetings Shoppers and Friends –
It seems our Tuesday No Parking Signs may have blown away. Couple that with VCU classes beginning this week and Idlewood Avenue is loaded with parked cars. This may improve some as the day goes on, but it does mean that street parking will be limited. So, because we have no childrens’ programs running this week, we can open the playground and soccer field areas for market parking.
Thank you for your patience.
A neighbor had this to say:
Parking has been a huge problem today for the neighborhood. The shoppers are taking all of the spaces on cherry street and residents have nowhere to park….
It would be sad if Byrd Market was the catalyst that causes the neighborhood to succumb to permit parking. Please review your options for accommodating the overload of cars currently brought in by the market.
Hopefully this can be resolved for next week’s market day. Its pretty clear that this part of the neighborhood sees a lot of activity on market days and the issue does deserve attention.
