Parking tops PRNC Wednesday agenda

POINT RICHMOND - A discussion of parking and traffic issues in Point Richmond - with a presentation by Denee Evans of the City of Richmond Transportation-Parking Services - is expected to highlight Wednesday's meeting of the Point Richmond Neighborhood Council.
The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Point Richmond Community Center and is open to the public.
Evans made a short presentation to the PRNC in late February about possibilities for a neighborhood parking permit system to help with parking issues.
Her report - and the question and answer period - was was cut short because of time constraints.
Her presentation Wednesday is scheduled to begin shortly after 8 p.m.

In addition to parking and traffic matters, the PRNC is also expected to hear a report on the Point Richmond Business Association (made by Daniel Butt), a report on the Arts of Point Richmond (presented by Altha Humphrey), a report on the Masquers Playhouse (by Kathie Kiehn) and an update on the Plunge West Collaborative Projects presented by Maryn Hurlburt.
The PRNC will also be welcoming the owners of the newly opened Brezo at Baltic Square, Heather Mervine and Hector Hernandez.

Here is the full agenda for Wednesday's PRNC meeting:
