davis_square | My Snow Emergency ticket (Reply)

Well, I finally heard back from the Somerville Parking office about my challenge to the ticket I got on December 19 for parking on the wrong side of the street at 7:45 PM during this snow emergency in which ticketing was supposed to start at 9pm.

"The Office of the Parking Clerk has reviewed your request for dismissal for the ticket listed below. We believe that the violation was issued in accordance with the City of Somerville Traffic and Parking Department rules and regulations.

The office recognizes your complaint and has administratively dismissed the violation. However any other similarly issued violations will not be dismissed."

While I am pleased that they have finally decided, five months later, that I don't have to pay the $100, I am a little disconcerted to have it ruled that the ticket was correct and they're only dismissing the ticket to be nice.
