Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to establish a Residential Parking Permit (RPP) district for the South University Neighborhood Association (SUNA). Also attached is a Traffic Control Order (TCO) indicating streets to be signed for residential parking.

The streets to be included are as follows, excluding frontage for non-residential properties:
