Tarp is gone, but motorcycles are permanently occupying same public on street parking space. My understanding is that there are limits on how long a vehicle can remain in public parking spaces without moving?

Give it a few more weeks and they will be gone, winters coming. Are they broken down? Are you sure they haven't moved?

The parking of motorcycles on a city street is not illegal if they are registered. Covering them is not prohibited by city ordinance..

The police department can track them as abandoned if they are not moved. If they are being moved and the put back in the same place, that would not be considered abandoned.

If you want to submit a report of abandoned vehicle the next time you have this concern, please use the "on street parking violation". That gets automatically routed to the police department parking unit who can address any on street parking issues.

We agree that the tarp covered motorcycles may not be ideal, but it is not illegal.
