The local city council and mayor are attempting to pass a law making it illegal to park on the streets in a 10 square block area only 3 blocks south of a University Campus. The attempt is to prevent students from parking on the streets, as a few locals have made complaints about the issue. Students will then be charged a monthly fee to park on the street in the range of about $50 per month. The issue is that most students are not registered voteres in the state due to their transitory nature in the area and most students own a car with insufficient parking space due to old complexes under old zoning laws. If passed, the law will cause students to have to park long distances from their apartments and campus, and students feel this law is being passed regardless of student feelings. The council is not allowing students to discuss the matter at their meetings. Is there any legal action we can take?
