Reason Behind the 48-hour Parking Rule

[wonkywheels.livejournal.com]

There has been some talk in this community about the 48-hour parking rule. Can someone explain the rationale behind this law? I have a car, but I take the "T" or ride my bike to work, so it doesn't make sense to me to have to move my car for no reason. I understand the need to move my car for street-sweeping, but this 48-hour thing doesn't seem to have a basis.

Tom, any reason the city wouldn't consider advocating for a longer Green Line spur at Union Square? I'm not sure how much additional right-of-way is needed, but a stop/terminus at Park Street (there appears to be room to the south of the current tracks) might make more sense than trying to clear enough room in Union Square for a turnaround loop. (Just curious)

I'm not Tom, but I think the Prospect, Webster, and Washington St bridges create a bottleneck. The new Lincoln Park school is quite close to the railroad tracks.

Hmm. That does appear to present quite the problem.

Never mind.
