This is a two way street, and everyone parks on the right side to keep traffic moving smoothly. The house at 1216 is constantly having his girlfriends park with one tire not quite in the grass and rest of the car in the street. One girl had her car hit a few months ago. When they park this way I can't back out of my driveway. It's not a wide street as it is. I just feel we need a "No Parking On This Side Of Street" sign before any really bad damage is done. There is plenty of parking on the other side. I don't know if this is the right place to ask for help but no harm in asking.
Multiple cars parking in grass.
What a surprise, it's 517 W Howe again! Blue car 964DNT parked on sidewalk! Again! WHEN WILL THE CITY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE IDIOTS IN THIS HOUSE?
Ford Broncho with Illinois plates (see attached) parked in alley behind house to the south.
Parking on the sidewalk and blocking it. They do this regularly.
Parking meter 7664 on Morton just north of 7th St. took quarters but continued to flash red. Malfunction.
They are blocking the road as always. One way in and one way out. Something needs to be done. They have metal and wood all in the road. This is almost daily, and this is the last thing I want to deal with when I'm coming home. Thank you!
I have reported this problem to the City several times, but nothing has ever been done about it. There is a used car business being operated out of a house at 1316 S. Palmer Ave. Deliveries of used cars and trucks arrive every week, and more often than that. The owner of the business has workers working who are always in the street. The vehicles and the workers block traffic, and it is unsafe for the workers refurbishing the used cars and trucks. In fact, that block of Palmer has become a one-lane street. The cars and trucks are parked up and down the street at all times. The place itself is trash heap. I own a house in the 1400 block, only two doors south of this used car lot, and my property value is diminished because of it. This would NEVER be allowed in any other residential neighborhood in the city. There are constantly many used cars and trucks coming and going as they get refurbished and sold. I've had enough. Please do your work.
