Still

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

According to the city's website, the snow emergency is still in effect until 6am Tuesday morning.

Just a reminder to clean off your car so the city doesn't ticket and/or tow it. I am going to look into this situation a bit and see what can be done to change it. I travel for my job and it would suck to come home after a storm and find my car is gone, and really, if a vehicle is parked legally, this shouldn't be a problem.

I have no idea why they think lifting the ban is going to do any good. There's nowhere to put the snow, even if someone wanted to dig out a space. No idea when I'll decide it's time to actually lose my space--not this week, I guess.

I was just at the parking court on Thursday and they said they have no plans to change the 48 hour rule (I'd also written to the mayor). I think it's dumb to penalize people who conscientiously stay off the road when it's less safe.

I believe the 48 hours rule is intended to prevent abandoned cars. Though honestly, a week would cover that need just fine. Lots of Somervuddlians don't drive more than once a week.

I agree. What's really fucked about this whole thing is that we are constantly told that we should take the T. Let's take the not-so-wild example of someone who has to work 2 jobs to be able to pay the rents here in Somerville. When will they have time to shovel?

I guess I was under the mistaken impression that the parking ban was there so that the city could remove the snow from one side of the street. I keep thinking that I get screwed for living on a side street, but then I drive down Broadway and it's just as screwed!

What the hell?
