Description

Both sides of Church Street, between Elm and Grove have not been plowed/cleared to the curb. Because of this, cars are essentially parking at meters 5-6 feet from the actual curb and are, thus, parking in a regular lane meant for traffic. On a daily basis, this creates traffic backups and dangerous driving situations.

Why has this block not been cleared to the curb? And I continue to wonder why the City allows meter-parking even if one cannot get within several feet of the meter. I would think that if a car cannot park within, say 2-3 feet of the meter, then you should not be allowed to park there.

I live in Westville and my street has been cleared to the curb several weeks ago - why did this not happen downtown?
