The car has been moved, but I'm going to leave this open for now. A commentator pointed out that the car is left there on a regular basis (I guess I hadn't noticed it before). If the car comes back soon I will continue my protest.

Hi BT, Just a tip, always call LPD for traffic problems. It will save you time and grief in "continuing your protest". LPD issues tickets or requests towing of abandoned vehicles. Not meaning to be bossy just trying to help you get the results you want. Not dissing Clickfix either...it's a great communication tool for communities across the country.

The car is back. It spent the night.

Jan, thanks for your tips. The car I was complaining about has been moved, and I will be closing this issue. I now know where the car owners live so if this happens again, I will let the police know the address and license # of the vehicle. Thanks again for your help.

BT, You're welcome. Sounds like you have this!

Thanks for fixing this issue!

If more people would call maybe we could get this accomplished. Lansing Police Dept. 517-483-4600.

I am reopening this issue and calling the police. The car , license plate # BCD 4666. It belongs to the house at 5301 South Washington. It has to go.

I will call the police tonight too. Like I said before this has been a issue for a long time. Thanks BT

The car was tagged by LPD at 1:45 pm and the car has since been moved. We will see if this works.
I am closing this as the car is gone. But I am watching.

I am glad that we have been able to resolve this issue. For future reference the LPD may not respond to the issue as the street is not posted as ‘no parking’. I found another agency which is more sympathetic. I spoke to the Parking Sargent (483-4667), and as the car was there for 24 hours; it can be consider abandoned and can be ticketed.

I’m also going to contact Andrew Kilpatrick to see about having the street posted with signs as “no-parking” especially considering the fact that the street is quite narrow and often used as a short-cut between South Washington and M L King Jr Blvd. He is at the Transportation Dept. 517-483-4247.
