Car is parked and blocking the sidewalk
Car is parked and blocking the sidewalk
A truck and trailer have been parking on the no parking side for days. Trailer license plate is 4LY5634. No lawn work is happening when it is parked here.
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.

Due to sidewalks being replaced, tenants have to park on Woodside Dr. Unfortunately they are blocking the fire hydrants and the sidewalk crossings in the evenings so the physically challenged residents are unable to use the sidewalks. Vehicles are parked right up to the entrances of Persimmon Tree, Paper Birch and Willow Tree to the point you can't see around them to get in or out of those "drives". These parking issues are 99% of the time in the evenings when most tenants have returned home from work. There's plenty of room to park on Woodside but they won't move further down the road, everyone is crammed into the end of Woodside near Park Square Dr. It's dangerous, we don't walk over to the mailboxes there with all the cars because we're afraid of getting hit by a vehicle.
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.
