Resolution to Prohibit On-Street Parking on the North Side of Scio Church Road between South Maple Road and Greenview Drive
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution to approve the prohibition of on-street parking on the north side of Scio Church Road between S Maple Road and Greenview Drive.

The results of these surveys are shown below. The results can ...
