Description
The couple at 90 Nash Street seem to think they own the street space in front of their home. Every winter they use trash cans with signs to reserve the spaces for their two full-size sedans (see photo). If at any point in time (summer or winter) someone parks in the spaces near their home, they leave threatening notes about why it was an inadequate parking job (although frequently violate their own rules of parking). We have tried to be courteous neighbors, but they have been nothing but rude and nasty to us. We would like the responsible city agency, whether it is the police or LCI, to come and ticket them for their violations. The city needs to show that it will not tolerate the use of intimidation to prevent others from sharing public space.

Whether or not you want to park there, whenever you see this, move the bins to the sidewalk and tear off the signs. The residents have no right to leave bins in the road to reserve a spot that isn't "theirs". No public street can be owned by any resident regardless of who shoveled.
And I second the suggestion to use bologna if they are putting stuff onto your car. Oil on the windshield is another good one!

Retaliation only leads to more trouble. Karma does come back, you just don't know when.

Thanks for the update, Concerned Nash Street Resident.
Please continue to take photos of the bins in the street and then push them to the sidewalk. Upload the pictures here, or start a new thread as this one has already been "acknowledged." I removed bins from a spot on Foster today. It's important that we stop this practice before others copy it. I don't like digging out multiple spots but that doesn't make me break the law.
