Description

street sweeping sign should be replaced with a "no parking" sign: This space is illegal, since any car parked here will be within about 10' on both ends from the intersections, but placing a street sweeping sign here implies that it's a legal space - just not during street sweeping times. (More telling is that DC issues parking tickets to cars in this space. My fiancée was ticketed here and denied her adjudication request because of the misleading signage, and we have a neighbor with the same experience.)

If this is a legal space, it needs paint markings or signage indicating as such so that DC will stop issuing tickets here. If it is to continue to be considered illegal, a no parking sign should go up in lieu of the street sweeping sign to make it clear that parking is never allowed there.

I've attached an image (screenshot from Google Maps) showing the sign. Note that there was a vehicle (supposedly illegally) parked in the spot when the Google car drove by.
