Description
Cars are illegally parked weekdays at the corner of Pine and Summer Street. This occurs daily between 2:00 and 2:30.
Because of the heavy School pedestrian and vehicle traffic at that time, for safety purposes, this few feet of intersection was posted "No parking here to corner."
This short distance only effects parking for one to two cars and does not inhibit the overall ability for parents to pick up their children at the South School.
It does however, pose a significant safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles trying to negotiate that corner.
I normally walk from the school down that side of Summer Street to get to pond. It is getting so hazardous, I now have to walk to the other side of Summer and cross over at the lights.
If you have the resources, could you please patrol that corner during those hours a few times a week until the word gets out that this is a safety issue and needs to be enforced.
Thank you.

Its the same car (4FM J20), same time (around 2:30) and the exact same location. It shouldn't be too difficult to put a ticket on this scofflaw and put a close to this issue.
Thanks.

I'll close this post. It's useless leaving it open.
Thanks anyway,

If someone is inconsiderate enough to cause a safety issue with their parking, than being talked to or receiving just a warning notice will probably not sway them to do the right thing. Unfortunately some people need to be forced to be considerate. It would be great if the police could take up a no tolerance policy for a while and actually write out tickets to get the message out that public safety is important. I look at it as a real slap in the face to the police and a sign of total disrespect for law enforcement. I think it's just a culture where they've gotten away with it so long they figure the police won't bother. In this case it appears they are correct. On the way back from school this weekend I found this warning on the ground. I'm sure whoever ripped it off their windshield and threw it on the ground didn't take it too seriously.
