730 Howe
600 block of Howe, two cars always blocking sidewalk
This sidewalk is often blocked but today it was so bad i had to walk in the street (I'm in the street in the attached photo). Some other parking situation needs to be figured out at the surplus store because there's absolutely no way someone with mobility issues could navigate that most of the time.
White Jeep at 112 N Union St typically parks within a foot or two of the street in their driveway. This caused a visibility issue when I'm trying to pull out of my driveway.
Parking in the sidewalk is always a problem for someone in a wheelchair!!!!
Constant problem
Another day, another clown parked blocking the bike lane on Third. Why is this not enforced?
Today at 1:18pm I was traveling north on Hawthorne and came upon someone from parking enforcement parking directly in the middle of the street, blocking traffic from both sides, as well as the 'neighborhood greenway' bike path, in order to (I assume) write a parked vehicle a ticket, despite there being available parking along the east side of the street (both in front of and behind the large silver SUV shown on the right hand side of the photo). The officer returned to the car and moved out of the way upon our approach (although not for the bicyclist that was ahead of us). While we didn't wait very long, I would think parking out of the way in the first place would be the preferred method for performing his duties, rather than blocking traffic to do so. Just a thought.
