sudden enforcement of over 48 hours parking rule?

[inq.livejournal.com]

went out of town for a week last week and when i got back, the car had 4 $20 tickets for being parked in one spot for over 48 hours. i've lived here a long time and never have i seen this enforced on my particular street (it's a little one-way street near davis in somerville). so, for $80 i guess i should have just driven to the airport and parked there, but i wondered if anyone else had been suprised by this arbitrary and capricious enforcement? (yes, that's the language from my letter of appeal.) also, at least one of these tickets was a mere 8 hours after the one previous, which doesn't seem to make much sense...

new parking officer, perhaps? i noticed a couple of other people on the street had a nice little ticket collection going as well...

Street sweeping reminder

The most recent post on overzealous ticketing reminded me that street sweeping begins tomorrow, April 2nd.

I found a set of keys in the Zipcar(Matrix Monahan, at Elmwood St Bikepath) I was using tonight. If they're yours, get in touch with me with further identifying info(what else is attached to the keychain, what was in the wallet, etc) and I'll arrange to get them back to you.
