This petition reads as follows: City of Greencastle 1 North Locust Street Greencastle, IN 46135 In reference to parking for senior citizens: A lot of seniors attend a function at the senior center that will last a little more than the 2 hour parking limit. The parking lot (NE of the center) is not the greatest - because being unlevel and uphill to the center. Is there a way the seniors could get (or pay a small sum) a window card or etc. for additional parking time? May find it difficult to move their cars for additional time.
