Description
There is always at least one (usually 2 and sometimes 3) big yellow commercial moving trucks parked on the street. I assume an employee/owner of the moving service, Two Young Studs Moving (cool name, ugly trucks) lives on the street and always parks there.
But according to this law, it isn't permissiable. Plus the trucks are ugly and not something you want to see everytime you look out the window.
Sec. 29-53. - Parking trucks in residential zones.
No person having the custody and control of a vehicle or vehicles with capacities of more than half-a-ton, shall be permitted to park on any street in any residential zone at any time of the day or night. However, such vehicles shall be permitted in residential zones when in the conduct of a service being simultaneously performed.

Thanks for reporting, SK. I've noticed this, too.

Any updates? It's been about 2 weeks and the trucks are still there every evening/morning. The trucks where there last week when cars were being ticketed & towed for street cleaning, but there were no actions taken since the trucks were parked on the other side of the street.

It's been a month. At least 1 truck is still here. These pics were taken today.
What's funny is that while I was walking my dog around 10:30 this morning a Parking Enforcement car (grey Honda with a middle aged man with a mustache driving) cruised right down our street. He even pulled off to the side of the road at the corner of William and Bradley and looked to be eating a sandwich. I watched him drive right by this truck.

We're now 2 months in, and these three trucks are still on William and Bradley. Besides the fact that they take up about 9 parking spots between the 3 of them, they are an eyesore and are clearly illegal.
Can we get any action on this?

LCI will investigate.

Does Public Works and the DOT get notices of additional comments? Or should I just re-post this issue again since it's been 2 months. The trucks were still out there this morning when I was leaving for work.

The trucks were towed in early September (thank you!)
UNFORTUNATELY, one is now back and has been parking on William/Jefferson Street since the weekend. Clearly they are hoping that lightning doesn't strike twice.
