Not to mention these people do not know how to park. They are several feet away from the curb. Was their driving impaired when they parked?

You have to call the police department because the parking manager doesn't work on the weekends and the police don't monitor SCF!

Code enforcement does NOT do on street parking. That is strictly the police dept and the parking.

Should we delete "Parking Enforcement Issue " as a S,C,F category then? (We'd likely need to keep "Parking on Lawns or yards" in S,C,F as it falls in the code enforcement silo as a zoning issue.)

Tmiles.. why was this moved from parking manager to code enforcement? And why don't the Burlington police monitor SCF for parking problems?

Why could SCF not send a notification to Police or towing companies on the weekends?? Money talks on both sides. Towing companies would engage in more targeted work. And people would be ticketed more. #winwin

SCFuser I agree and don't understand why they don't

Seeing other issues tagged as "parking enforcement"... means enforcing the parking rules. #wordsmeansomething

This issue requires enforcement. Not by residents, but by code enforcement. Why does it have to be the police that takes action?

Here is another issue: https://seeclickfix.com/issues/11144471?poi_token=32915398fb6b96012f6d179671ced216a63b4e65&utm_campaign=poi-notice-email&utm_content=issue-card-header&utm_medium=email&utm_source=poi-email&utm_term=issue-image.

Police need to come out and ticket this? Clear violations could -> should be "enforced" by code "enforcement". Especially with police spread so thin...

I have observed code enforcement having cars towed and ticketed if they park in a zone that is for permits only...since code enforcement can do this why can't they:

-> cars parked over driveways/blocking and making it unsafe to enter or leave
-> two cars parking in one space with a sign!!!!! saying one car only (seems similar to no parking without permit #just saying).
-> cars parking on Willard past the allowed spaces for parking
-> cars parked MORE than a foot away from the curb (get out your measuring stick)

These things could be "enforced" by code "enforcement".

Instead, the parking enforcement tag will come off of SCF and the issues will continue.

Have you tried to call the parking manager

Code enforcement has NEVER towed a vehicle. We do not have that authority and do NOT have authority in ticketing for on street violations. The ordinance is very clear that that authority belongs to the police department.

Who is ticketing the cars that have no permits in permit-only zones...driving code enforcement little white cars....who are the same people lingering to wait until a car is towed?

Should we change the ordinance? Esp if police are spread thin. Yes, you are following the rules. But why not innovate, ask questions, show empathy for the residents of this town that have no recourse but to call the police. Who have to educate students year after year.

After a quick google, I get nothing on parking enforcement and SCF...only content is directed at police here: https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/Police/Parking-Enforcement

Time to innovate. Or simply fix this app.
-> allow code enforcement to ticket and tow and on weekends.....!
-> send notifications to the police so they can enforce parking!!!!!!!!!

What is parking enforcement for if there is no enforcement of parking?

SC have you emailed John King? And Tmiles why isn't the police department allowed to monitor SCF,??

Code enforcement does not have any city vehicle nor any “little white cars” that would be PARKING enforcement from the POLICE Dept.

Thanks for clarifying who we are seeing ticket and tow cars.

Do those city employees get notifications from SCF? If not why? And if not can SCF parking enforcement issues go to them?

They are always lurking around resident only parking zones.

Haven’t seen them enforcing one car only spots. Blocked driveways etc. on non resident only zones. Saw one on the top of Henry St this morning between 7-7:30 (in a resident only parking zone) I also walked by a car that was about two feet away from the curb and a car parked on Willard past the area they should be parked.

When one clicks on the SCF link on the mayors page it simply brings you to the SCF home page/app. No explanation on what SCF is. What they fix. And what each category covers. What is the goal or mission of SCF?

What happens when there are repeat Issues? Do they get fixed (stop occurring?) or do they linger for years.

Threads like these are not helpful. What would be helpful is for code enforcement to see a need arise with the tool they are using. “Tags for parking enforcement are not part of our responsibility…people want these issues to be resolved…let’s direct those to parking enforcement people” so they can get out of their resident only parking comfort zone and help some of the other community members.

Or perhaps change the name of the app. To SC.

So if there is 35 employees for the parking people they should have enough people to monitor SCF and go take care of the problems

Parking Services checked this area on 10/22 and found no violations at this time

The Department of Public Works has resolved this request. Thanks for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.

Parking services manager, of course you didn't find any violations! It took you a month to check out this parking violation!
