Description

Today, I discovered that my car had been hit by another car or large truck. My driver side mirror was broken/shattered, the side of the car is scraped up, the rear of the car was bent/broken in, and the tire was cut. I blame this on poor snow removal on our street.

Many of us only have street parking and we're doing our best to find legal parking spaces and park as close to the curb as possible, but even on the odd side (which is where my car was), which is supposed to be plowed by the city, you have to park on a mountain of snow to get close to the curb. Cars can barely get down the street (made more narrow by the snow), so situations like mine are bound to happen.

The damage to my car is almost 3k and there was no note or effort made to contact me. The city needs to take better care of its residents (who are paying to park on the street) so that they're not the victim of similar incidents. Mind you, I realize that these situations can happen in the summer, but the parking situation due to the snow has been really ridiculous this season and this incident was the straw that broke the camel's back.
