Description
Very regularly (daily) cars park so that they partially or completely block the sidewalk, which although obvious, is not clearly delineated. I reported this a couple of years ago, after which the City lightly spray painted a line marking the edge of the supposed sidewalk, writing "public" on the sidewalk portion of the pavement. Cars have contined to park there regularly. With the recent addition of many housing units and new businesses in the area, there has been an increase in pedestrian traffic, making this legal parking especially dangerous. Please (1) better mark and/or construct the sidewalks, and (2) enforce e siting laws, which prohibit parking on sidewalks.
