Parking in the sidewalk is always a problem for someone in a wheelchair!!!!
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.

Occasionally, I find a vehicle parked on the bicycle/pedestrian path that leads from Countryside Lane to the apartment complex behind the houses on Countryside Lane and Adams Circle. I often walk or cycle in this neighborhood and find it difficult to navigate the improperly parked vehicle, which usually blocks the cross sidewalk as well. Would it be possible to install a couple of posts to discourage parking on the path? I'm not looking to get anyone ticketed, but a good number of drivers seem to be conveniently ignorant of the rules here. Thank you, Nick.
There is a silver van and blue truck who consistently park on the sidewalk and extending into the street. This has become dangerous with icy sidewalks.
