Description
Resident parking is not being enforced for overnight parking on Medford Street. Those who have resident stickers are being forced to park a number of blocks from our home due to those illegally parking in our spots. I parked 4 blocks from my house after 10pm the other night, and counted 10 cars on my way home, that did not have resident parking stickers. This problem will get worse in the winter, as Terminal street and the Navy yard are the only available parking for those of us on Medford St.The Navy Yard garage has limited space, and Terminal st--which used to be open for parking--is full all the time, and residents are forced to park in "no parking" zones in front of Little Mystic Access Area. Both sides of street need to be opened for parking and "no parking" spaces need to be opened up. many people on the side streets of Elm are parking on Medford and leaving cars all week, keeping us from parking even within a block of our home, when we used to be able to park somewhere close to the front.

Is this only a night time issue?
Have you been calling the Boston Police 9-1-1 CAD system and reported these illegally parked vehicles? Our officers will respond to these locations and tage the vehicles on the overnight shift.

THANK YOU SO MUCH SGT! I have been trying to get this issue resolved via the Mayor's Liaison, but to no reply. I just didn't know where to go to resolve the issue. Non-resident parking on Medford St in front of the highschool i(and public housing) is rampant--particularly overnight. I noticed one day of tickets during the day, but nothing else.
Can you please advise me of options for snow emergency parking? Terminal St (where we used to park during snow emergencies) is full most days and nights (people leave their cars to sit there for days on end). I had to park in a No-parking zone in front of Mystic boat ramp because there were no other spots, and parking was enforced then, and nearly 20 residents got tickets. It is now a well-known spot, and residents will not have anyplace to park during a snow emergency, unless some parking is opened up on that street. Any ideas?
Thank you again for your time! I truly appreciate the help!

Hi Sgt, I did as you instructed. Last night 6 cars on Meford St in front of the highschool and community center did not have resident stickers, and 3 were parked in the intersection, so I phoned as you instructed. I don't think anyone ever came out (shocking) because the cars were still there, and no tickets were on them. It appears that during the day, most of the cars left over two hours are teachers at Charlestown High (some have tags on rearview mirror). Do you know if they get special permission to park there during the day? I understand if there is no more space in the parking lot, and it's crowded, because they are parking on the sidewalk in front of the community center. But, something needs to be done, as more people are moving in to the community. I can phone the police everynight and report this if that's what it takes, but I know they have more serious issues to deal with and I feel stupid calling them.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions, I am out of ideas, and getting no resolution to this issue.
