Description

Hello, My name is Meredith Amaru. I live at 3 dudley street medford ma unit 1. I recently just moved here few months ago. Not only did I get towed and citated, when it was street sweeping on my street and had to pay 150$ to get car and then 50$ citation, but now, yesterday was the street next to mines sweep day. Washington street. I, not only, did not know about street sweeping because I have not yet been able to install a landline, and no signs were posted on telephone poles, but I was forced to park Washington because neighbors here who have DRIVEWAYS, insist on parking on the street where I am sup posed to. Anyway, I have proof that I was not informed about this until after the fact almost 12 hours later! I purposely signed up for notifications from city of medford to avoid what happened the day dudley street was schedueled for a sweep. Yet, even so, I was informed of Washington streets 12 hours later?? Attached should be a picture of the date and time of recieved call and voicemail from barry clemente, stating this awareness. 6/28/16 @4:32 pm. My citation is dated 6/28/16 @ 4:18 AM!! citation # 6066110. I feel I should I catch a break here and not be forced to pay this 50$. It was not my fault. There was nowhere else to park. I did my duty as a citizen and signed up for city of medford notifications since I do not have a landline, i have no solution and cannot get any guidance as to where I'm supposed to park my car legally when this happens (yes I've called city hall and asked, and was told politely it's not their problem), and last but not least I have proof that the only notification or warning sent from city of medford to unaware citizens, was 12 hours AFTER the fact. Not okay. Also not a good first impression in welcoming newcomers to your city and/or neighborhood!! Furious.
