At the corner of Washington and first there has been a car parked in the bike lane for weeks and now there are two cars parking in the bike lane. The curb is painted yellow indicating no parking. Sometimes the cars have tickets on them but most of the time they don’t. That intersection is already not safe for cyclist and it’s compounded by cars always being parked in the bike lane
I just checked your response, someone comment on my garden, maybe this is not your area but related to legal parking on the public street. The neighbor parked at that special spot because whenever he spotted me work in my front yard, he will walk openly to his vehicle, sit on the driver’s sit to stare at me. Who will pay any attention to what his doing? It’s not a peeping Tom, but a legal Tom. if I don’t go home he will be there as long as I am in the front yard. If it’s you what can you do? Just let the garden go wild. The law is for regular people, an indecent person can take the law to satisfy his needs. I gave up, I can only be very careful and protect myself.
The staff forgot to report his legal parked on the public street vehicle been hit by Mrs. Cookman. Our district representative said the same thing, park on the public street will slow down the traffic while she pushed hard to spend more tax money to rebuild new humps or cushions. Why she just parked her own vehicle on the public street to make a good example to slow down the traffic instead? Slow down the traffic does not mean to prevent the accident. Be careful what you report, you are representing the city.
Thanks for the investigation. I learned a lot. Even it’s public street, not a public parking lot, legal parking is above the legal driving. If the driver hits the legal parking vehicle is the driver’s responsibility. This is so ridiculous! The one parked his vehicle on the public street is the one created a dangerous condition for the drivers. The main purpose of a street is for people to travel. From one place to another. I don’t mean you need stop the parking on public street law, but make it more acceptable. I remember when my kids were in IU, we had 3 cars, when their friends came visit, everyone parked on the grass area to leave more room for other drivers to pass. Things changed within the legal parking on the public street rule. I felt so sorry for my neighbor who bumped into officer’s vehicle. It must be a big shock for her. To tell the truth under such a hazardous situation, a person insist to hold his privileges of legal parking on the public street despite the harmful fact is intentionally create troubles for the other drivers. It is necessary to make this legal parking on the public street rule into a safe one for the drivers.
There is currently someone parked IN the intersection of 8th and Jackson St & they have been there for several hours.
Thanks for the consideration, it’s an excellent idea, if this has be planned before the construction started will save lots of worries. But it’s not too late, hope take action as quickly as possible, before any big disaster happening.
There is Blue bronco parked along a yellow curb obstructing view from lane and making pulling out dangerous
Alley is being used as an extended-hour parking lot for multiple vehicles, particularly in the evening, making access difficult.
Three cars have been parked in the alley for several days now. I need to use that alley to access my parking spot on the side of my house. There is usually frequent traffic through that alley so I am sure it is a safety concern too.
I live at 117 S. Heritage Rd. Now think it back, what a horrible experience. According to the rules, the one back up from their driveway supposed to yell to the on going traffic. That’s why those cars right in my back. They didn’t know I can’t see them, and they feel it’s their right to go forward. Oh, my goodness, the loud breaking car really saved my live. Everyone knows there’s blind spot between two driving vehicles, now I realized there’s blind spot when vehicles legally parked on the public street. I do need thanks God to saved my life, and Hope this horrible experience will let people rethink about the legal parking rules to prevent unnecessary damages in the future.
