CITIZENS’ COMMENTS Frank Reed, 1433 Midland Blvd. Mr. Reed was concerned over the “No Parking Notice” posted by St. Louis County on Midland between Canton Ave and Olive Blvd. He said that there would be no parking available in front of his house for anyone visiting and it is now hard to get in and out of his driveway.
