Goodness, street cleaning

[vibrantabyss.livejournal.com]

Just had a nice chat with the street sweep - he was parked in front of my house hoping that at least *some* of the people would get out and move their cars.  He gave up at 8:20, with nine cars still parked on the wrong side.

The interesting bits were: (1) they are going to start towing regularly next year (2) for times when they don't, fines will increase to $80.

Edit: According to tom_champion this is an unfounded rumor.  (see his comments below)  Thank you Tom for checking into this!

argh, we're planning on taking a vacation for two weeks next summer. Guess we'll see if we can bribe a friend or neighbor to move our car. (We could eat a ticket, but having the car towed would be really really sucky)

Your neighbors will be very grateful to not have to miss a street sweeping or two while you're gone. Things get gross around here when the sweepers have to go around too many cars.

When the time comes, you might try dropping a line here on DSLJ, I've seen people arrange temp parking spaces this way in the past.

I will definitely try that, if we can't make arrangements for the car!

We live on Broadway now, so... yes, I agree. It gets icky. ;)
