I have spoken to three different people this morning working for the parking department, all of whom have been unhelpful and rude. Each time I have an interaction with anyone from the parking department, it is unpleasant and unprofessional. This behavior is unacceptable for any person to behave in this way, especially someone who is employed by my government. In the first incident, I politely asked the woman why I was recieving a ticket and that I did not understand. She was rude and unhelpful. After this, I called the number printed on my ticket and spoke to the parking manager, also asking her why I had received my ticket; as well as voicing my concern about the way that I was previously treated. Instead of offering to make the situation right, she lectured me on how "more people should care about accessibility issues" and that since I was blocking the sidewalk entrance, she "hopes I never end up in a wheelchair and need to access the sidewalk". After politely bringing the first woman to her attention, I was immediately met with MORE uncalled for disrespect. I then followed up and called the second woman's boss. Thankfully, I understand now why I got the ticket, but I do not trust that the situation has been handled. However, each person in this department clearly needs to take a course in customer service.

CFC vehicle is blocking the entire sidewalk and cannot safely cross kirkwood or to College avenue. No signs posted saying side walk was closed or anything. Just unacceptable as I had to walk into traffic to cross.

A red Hyundai Accent has been parked in the same spot since July 2022 and is becoming a nuisance for trash pick up. With winter coming this car is in the way for snow removal.

This truck has been here, seemingly abandoned, for over 2 weeks. The front-left suspension is broken. There is debris and leaking oil underneath the truck. It is facing the wrong direction for the side of the street it is on. It's a fair distance from the sidewalk, somewhat obstructing the street. It is partially blocking a driveway. The vehicle was issued a ticket last week. I'm including a photo of the license plate for identification purposes.

Multiple cars are parked on the wrong side of the street in a residential area as well as a U-Haul parked on the sidewalk blocking the side walk. This makes it incredibly hard to get through the street when cars are parked on both sides.

I live on Marilyn Drive. I park a vehicle overnight on the street. I just want to make sure this is OK. I have read the ordinance where I must park going the same direction as traffic and I must not obstruct traffic, i.e. I need to make sure there is 12 feet for traffic to pass by.
I just want to make sure on this. There are no - NO Parking signs on our street.
During the snow storm I did make a point of not park on the street overnight so the snow plows could get through.
Please let me know if I am OK with parking on the street - thanks for your help - Kevin Keough

The person at this house has had two snow plows stored on the street since winter. The one plow is fairly wide and it is a hazard with the cars parked on the other side of the road.

The new apartment complex at the corner of walnut and Driscoll. There was no space for parking added for parallel parkers so when they park, it turns Driscoll into a one lane street which is dangerous for those turning onto Driscoll from walnut when they are met with vehicle traveling west on Driscoll. Also, they are parking all the way to walnut blocking the sidewalk ramp and the fire hydrant .
