"Ralph and Sherrill Lausch parked their cars outside their home Sunday afternoon and then parked themselves on their front porch with tall glasses of iced tea.

For hours they watched as SUVs maneuvered down the street and an RRTA bus inched past a car.

The Lausches were observing the effects of an experiment during which three city blocks were taped off so residents could park at an angle rather than parallel to the curb.

The exercise was designed to help city officials determine whether angled parking would be feasible in certain areas of the city.

Taped off Sunday afternoon were the 400 block of College Avenue, the 600 block of West Lemon Street and the 700 block of North Plum Street, where the Lausches live.

Like most residents who talked to the Intelligencer Journal Sunday, the Lausches said they don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about the angled parking idea, but did have some concerns should the city move forward with the plan.

"A bus came up here a little while ago and had some difficulty getting by a car coming the opposite direction," Mr. Lausch said. He said the two vehicles passed one another where his pickup truck was parked.

"If there would have been a smaller car parked there, it probably wouldn't have been a problem," he said. "It just so happened that everything came together at the same point, but, obviously, you need to consider that can happen."

We have alot of angled parking down here, but it's mostly on wide business streets...Seems like it would be a little more dangerous than paralle parking...Thank goodness for driveways

The worst i 've seen were in Monte-Carlo ( Monaco ) .. and they were really dangerous .. But well , that was like twenty yers ago !

We have roads barely wide enough for two cars WITHOUT cars parked on them. >.>

We have them too but here, they make the streets into a 'one-way' so not to have this inconvenience.

that's smart..
