Neighborhood Parking

[Ilovedogs123]

A neighbor is putting 2 yard waste containers in front of her house in the street to ” save ” her parking spot. We live near the C line and people are using our street to park and then catch the bus. This neighbor is the only person doing this. Isn’t that illegal?? To make matters worse, she has a driveway!!!!! She doesn’t use. What can the rest of us do?

My street is very crowded as well. if that blocked spot is keeping me from parking on my street I like to think I would try the friendly route, commiserate with my neighbor about our shared situation, and how frustrating it is.

More likely I would stop my car, lift the containers onto the sidewalk and proceed to park my car. She knows what she is doing isn’t legal. We’re all in the same crowded boat so maybe it doesn’t have to be conflict. More ‘hey I know this sucks and I need a place to park too.

Ilovedogs, I moved out here almost 9 years ago from Pittsburgh…there are actual framed posters of pictures of what people would use to hold parking spaces including cones, laundry baskets, beach chairs, garbage cans, etc. It happened especially in the winter when someone had dug their car out of the snow lol…not sure what the rule is here but this made me chuckle a bit.
