Description
There is virtually no parking enforcement on Fawcett St, and it's becoming a major issue for residents. This evening more than half of the vehicles parked in Cambridge resident parking spaces do not have valid parking permits. Particularly in the last few weeks, it has become very difficult to find parking spaces because of the lack of enforcement. I would very much appreciate if the Cambridge police would do a better job of ticketing violators.

Thank you for reporting. Issues like this should be reported as they occur to the Cambridge Police Department Non-Emergency line at 617-349-3300 so that units can be dispatched to the location at the time such issues are seen. This system is best suited to respond to service requests like potholes, street lights, rodent issues, etc. that can be assigned to staff and addressed in a timely manner.
However, we will share this concern with the appropriate departments so that this report can be taken into consideration as we study future roadway design and enforcement efforts.
