Hudson to Review Student Parking Request Around Hudson High School

HUDSON -- A Hudson High School student's call for more student parking goes before the city Public Safety Committee for review this Thursday.

Maxwell Meurett, a student at Hudson High School, wrote a letter to the committee dated December 5. The committee takes it up Thursday.
In his letter, Meurett addresses Hudson police chief Marty Jensen, stating that due to the high population at Hudson High, in addition to construction projects in the area, the student parking situation needs to be eased.
"While there have been complaints of parking in front of
mailboxes, parking on curbs, and kids walking through private property, I feel that the whole issue stems from a
lack of communication, empathy, and understanding on all sides of the issue," Meurett writes.
Meurett is asking the chief to consider 1) temporarily remove restricted parking signs near the school until construction at the new school is complete or 2) issuing residential parking passes to students on a temporary basis to students who need them for school.
"Homeowners may not feel sympathetic to our issue because it will be resolved in a year when the school improvements are done and because it does not affect them in the way that it does the students," he writes. "I just worry that as the issues get worse they will just be overlooked."
