600 block of Howe, two cars always blocking sidewalk
Hi, I live just East of Woodlawn, and everyday I notice cars that are parked on 13th and 14th Street that do not have parking permits. Almost everyday there is a car parked on 14th, that is inches from the intersection of 14th and Forrest, which makes it absolutely impossible to see whether there is a car coming. Along 13th, there is always a long line of cars parked that makes it very difficult to see oncoming traffic. It would be one thing if these cars were supposed to be parking here, but they are not. Most of them, I see park here in the morning and walk to class, because they live far away and have realized that you are not enforcing parking permits in this area due to construction. Most, if not all of the construction workers park in an the grass, so all of the other cars are not theirs. I (and everyone who lives around here) would really appreciate it if you could come check it out once in awhile. Thanks!
meter on 4th street outside of Best Taste / old Second Story is broken and keeps adding time to card... meter number attached in photo
This sidewalk is often blocked but today it was so bad i had to walk in the street (I'm in the street in the attached photo). Some other parking situation needs to be figured out at the surplus store because there's absolutely no way someone with mobility issues could navigate that most of the time.
White Jeep at 112 N Union St typically parks within a foot or two of the street in their driveway. This caused a visibility issue when I'm trying to pull out of my driveway.
Parking in the sidewalk is always a problem for someone in a wheelchair!!!!
Constant problem
Another day, another clown parked blocking the bike lane on Third. Why is this not enforced?
I am attempting to appeal a parking citation and when I search my license plate number, IL R958624, it is not being recognized.
Today at 1:18pm I was traveling north on Hawthorne and came upon someone from parking enforcement parking directly in the middle of the street, blocking traffic from both sides, as well as the 'neighborhood greenway' bike path, in order to (I assume) write a parked vehicle a ticket, despite there being available parking along the east side of the street (both in front of and behind the large silver SUV shown on the right hand side of the photo). The officer returned to the car and moved out of the way upon our approach (although not for the bicyclist that was ahead of us). While we didn't wait very long, I would think parking out of the way in the first place would be the preferred method for performing his duties, rather than blocking traffic to do so. Just a thought.
