It's April 25th. From your city to your ears, this is Durham News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Full-quave arena town leaders are eyeing no parking zones in the North Lakes neighborhood right by Willow Spring High School. Residents there are fed up with students flooding their streets with cars during school hours, causing backups, trash build-up, and real safety. Headaches on what should be quiet residential roads. The push comes after folks along long-leg drive shared videos of cars packed double-sided and vented directly to commissioners. Assistant town manager Mark Matthews noted the problem is spreading and with school parking, running $200 a spot, more kids are, spilling over into nearby spots. Neighbors are clear. This ain't a lot. It's homes where kids play and families drive slow. One resident nailed it as a straight safety risk, with potential for accidents amid the chaos. Fun officials are looking at Holly Springs models, where similar restrictions work near high schools, and even apex dealt with yard parking schemes.

Charging $300 per car, before banning one local landlord. Commissioners held off on a vote this week, opting for community meetings first to hash it out, so expect more input before any signs go up and change. The daily grind around there.
