Description

Every single day there is a City of New Haven Emergency Operations SUV (#42 or #43) that parks illegally and in violation of the parking requirements that all other residents are held accountable to, and this vehicle is NEVER ticketed, booted, or towed. The person who operates this vehicle is a resident on either Academy or Court and is not conducting city business during the times that the vehicle is parked in violation. Often it is parked too close to the fire hydrant or to the entrance of Court Street making the turn onto court dangerous and difficult to navigate.

Moreover, the vehicle is huge and is often parked nearly on top of other vehicles or blocking in other vehicles that are legally and respectfully parallel parked on the street. There have been numerous times that we parkers have been unable to easily get our cars out of our parking space without damage due to this vehicle being parked illegally, or too close.

It seems unfair and unjust that a person operating a city vehicle outside of their business hours is free to park anywhere they wish, in violation of many parking codes, and yet we residents are ticked regularly while simply unloading groceries or home goods for a matter of moments.

If a person is using a city vehicle as a personal vehicle they should be held to the same standards and regulations that the rest of us Wooster Square residents are held to when it comes to parking.
