Sat. morning I woke up to see the outline of an RV in the alley. When I went to take the photo, there was another car behind it, which subsequently moved. I was told by my neighbor that the RV had arrived Fri. night. As I was taking a photo, the owner came out and I informed him that he should move his car because it was in the public alley. He looked at me like I was insane, and then asked why. I also said he was parked next to my fence, where there is a large sign that says "No Trespassing," put up on the advice of Officer Dilts of the BPD. He then proceeded to spit out his toothpaste and water from his mouth onto the green area near the fence under the aforementioned sign. I do not know whether this green area is my property or the public alley, which is one reason we have been requesting that the City demarcate the public alley. I was also appalled by the nastiness. he remained parked in the alley until Sunday afternoon. I am asking for relief from the nonstop use of the public alley as the private backyard of this illegal frat (see Planning for their "Cease to function as a frat" NOV, which was sent twice to them with a final date of "by October 10, 2017." As is obvious from all the various Ureports I have written, most of their illegal parking occurs when no one is available at Parking. And when someone does come, the cars are not ticketed. I believe that only fines will discourage this constant viavai of cars and RVs. In addition to the fear that my fence would be damaged, the RV was hooked up to the house so that there was a motor/generator? going constantly and making constant noise. I am asking for you to come up with a solution to the private use of this public alley - a No Parking sign with towing and ticketing promised, or to vacate the alley so that the illegal frat can have their half to use as they please and we the homeowners at 1003 and 1005 E. Hunter may have our half to use as we please.

Car parked in the public right of way in the alley behind my house. It is clear that the illegal fraternity continues to use the public alley as their private parking lot and storage space. There were numerous spaces available on the streets around their houses.
I again request you come and demarcate the alley so that this illegal parking in the alley next to my fence ceases

Swain is no parking on both sides of the street between 3rd street and Atwater. And it is marked with 'No Parking Any Time' signs in several spots. There is one spot that people always park. Sometimes even going the wrong way. This spot is next to the Ami restaurant parking lot. This is especially dangerous when delivery trucks are parked on the other side of Swain delivering to Mother Bears. I've attached a photo to show cars parking in this spot. There is a sign in front of these cars, and another behind them. Where they are parked is a curb that has the entrance to the Ami parking lot to the front of them and to the back of them. They think since there is no sign on this part of the curb that they can park there. I would like to see a sign posted in this part of the curb. Having s sign posted in this part of the curb would eliminate most if not all of this parking.

The new tenants at this address continue to park on the wrong side of Ballantine, impeding traffic (especially when people are legally parked on the correct side of the street).
Parking Permits

Several cars without parking permits are consistently parking in Neighborhood Zone 2 permit-only spaces.
I paid for a Zone 2 parking permit and I cannot find a parking spot on Swain Ave. (where I live) because they are almost all filled with non-permitted vehicles. I'd like to request stricter enforcement of parking laws in Zone 2.

There have been 2 cars parked in the alley for over 24 hours and despite trying to make contact with those who live in 412 S Lincoln St, they have not moved their cars from the road. It is blocking my parking spot and access to my backyard. I have visitors coming who will get tickets if they do not move their vehicles from the road so I can access my parking. Additionally, there is a lot of through traffic in that alley so it may be a safety concern as well.

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.

The road is almost completely inaccessible in front of the big apartment building here because cars are lining both sides of the street, even though there is only parking on one side of the street. Probably move in day in the building or something, but no excuse for lax parking rules. There was also a huge brown RV parked idling on the sidewalk, spewing fumes everywhere - and since someone kept the front door open, I'd imagine the whole building reeks of fumes, the entire street outside certainly does. I had to turn in the alleyway here to get around this street because I couldn't fit my car through the double parked cars. [Note: this was approx 20 mins ago, but I'd imagine the cars at least are still there.]
Thanks for quick response,
Roger
