Mayor Harp needs a new car- how do you think were gonna pay for it. N u think I'm joking.

This is the email I sent out to the block watch group:
I just learned that a bunch of cars parked on Eld St received parking tickets. Further digging and I found out this:

1) there is some construction going on
2) The city posted signs THIS MORNING to not park

I asked them (Traffic and Parking) What if people went to work BEFORE the signs were posted and the cars were parked.

She told me that you should contest the ticket, and they will "take it under consideration."

I've already notified Doug Hausladen about this. I think it is outrageous that they did not give 24 hours notice of the ban. And if it was an emergency, how dare they give out tickets when people aren't home to do anything about it?!

I will help in any way I can. 203-946-8075 is the phone number to Traffic and Parking. 203-946-8200 is the mayor's office.

There was signage posted on Eld at the time of issuance indicating "EMERGENCY ORDER NO PARKING THURSDAY" on both sides of the street, however upon further investigation of this issue we have determined that the amount of signs was inadequate and have proceeded to dismiss all No Parking citations issued on Eld related to this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this discrepancy and encourage anyone with further questions or concerns to contact our office at (203)946-8076. Thank you for your help in this matter.
