Wish surrounding towns only had a parking ban in the winter. Most have no parking every night of the year. more ›

I have a problem with the winter parking ban, and street parking bans in general.
It’s that time of year again — time for the winter parking ban. From November 27, 2011 through April 1, 2012, no vehicle can be parked on the street for more than one hour between 1 a.m. - 6 a.m. Last year, the town’s web site read, “The Department of Public Works needs to have the streets clear of any parked vehicles in order to perform street cleaning, catch basin clearing, and the removal of snow and ice from the roads.” I would be very surprised if the first two activities are done every single night of the four months that the parking ban is in effect. And when the town declares a snow emergency, all cars must be moved off the street anyway to allow for snow removal; I would think this would suffice. So why must cars be banned from …

I parked my car in front of my house at 2:00 am on the 23rd and woke up to a parking ticket. I guess it was a slow night at the station. Now I was told I have to waste my time (work time= income loss for me) disputing the violation. What is the sense in lifting the ban and then sending out officers ticketing residents on a perfectly clear snow free night????? Certainly there must have been a … more ›
