Summary
Police data showed none of the streets meet the 25% threshold for permit parking, and Friday counts were skipped due to RLUIPA legal constraints tied to the mosque. Residents called the study inadequate and opposed one-way streets.

Impact analysis
Hiring an outside traffic engineer would cost money the council says it doesn't have after budget cuts; a special emergency appropriation would raise next year's taxes.
A solution could ease mosque-related Friday congestion while preserving resident parking.
Richfield residents feel shortchanged by a study that skipped Fridays and by pressure toward one-way streets.

Richfield residents — including seniors — told the council one-way streets would trap them.
