Parking crackdown on Fauntleroy Way by Lincoln Park

One of the street-safety challenges mentioned at last week’s Fauntleroy Community Association-convened forum about bicycling safety was the mingling of parking spaces with ferry queueing on Fauntleroy Way alongside Lincoln Park (and sometimes beyond). At 2 pm weekdays, the space becomes a no-parking zone – and today, right at 2, SPD parking-enforcement officers and tow trucks were there, ready to pounce on violators, WSB contributor Anne Higuera noticed. We’re checking on whether today’s crackdown was part of the SDOT-led response.

The problem as I understand it is, it has been a challenge for many years to get people to apply. I’ve been in regular contact with a PEO manager and this is what she tells me.

We covered that last week. The city is removing parking along that stretch of Wildwood, as requested by local community advocates, to improve safety.

I’ll beat Jort to this one… So, you know that a woman was killed while riding her bike there, but SDOT taking steps to improve safety at the request of the people who lives there, and the woman’s family and friends, is somehow a part of an attack on cars? I don’t think I could have made that one up.
