Deskripsyon

All of zone 4 parking (or at least every block I saw from Lombard up to Spruce and from 13th to 8th) is being blocked off for tomorrow's cleaning event. The signs were just put up a day or two ago and there is nowhere else to park since it encompasses the whole parking zone. Many residents have work or family obligations from 8am - 1 pm this Saturday and will now have their cars towed. If only a few blocks were closed at a time and/or there was more advanced notice, the residents of the area may have been able to plan accordingly. With no place left to park and no notice, it's a real burden on those who are not two adult households with 9-5 weekday jobs and no family obligations outside of the city. Isn't there a limit to the number of parking spaces that can be blocked off in a single parking zone at once? Aren't there regulations about how far in advance an organization should put up the no parking signs?

You are allowed to park your vehicle on the opposite side of the street between 8:am and 1:00pm hen you will need to moce your car back to a legal parking spot. I am unsure if your new to this neighborhood but the homeowners and residents have beeing doing the fall and spring clean up for years. I suggest you become a member of the Washington West Civic Association or check their facebook page or website to find out what's going on in our community.

I appreciate you taking the time to write back, but I don't think your response actually addressed the issue. Basically, you told me that I'm required to be at my car at 8 am on a Saturday and then again at 1 pm or else have my car ticketed and towed. I was trying to explain that for some people this is a very difficult requirement, especially on such short notice. This includes people who may work on Saturdays, attend school on Saturdays, celebrate the Sabbath on Saturdays, or have family obligations where they cannot drop everything to be there at exactly 8 am or exactly 1 pm. That's why I proposed other solutions such as only closing a few blocks at a time and/or giving more advanced notice. Another solution may be to allow opposite side parking for the 24 hours before and after - this would allow people who cannot be there at exactly the specified times required by the civic association to still move their cars. As far as notice, having an event "every year" still doesn't help me plan if I will need to take off from work or another commitment. If the date really is known so far in advance, perhaps it should be provided to those who buy a Zone 4 Permit when they buy it so they will know when it is or is not valid.

hi i'm from the wash west civic, an all-volunteer organization, and wanted to comment. we understand that this IS a hardship and we work like mad to notify everyone via signs, radio, news, etc., but haven't found a way to make it foolproof. hopefully the cleaned up streets will help allay some of the inconvenience...it was done thanks to the work of dozens and dozens of volunteers who hung (and then removed) signs, flyered cars, and were out there sweeping for hours. your suggestion is a good one but we could only WISH to get that kind of communication from the ppa!
