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!

If I were in charge, they would tow for street cleaning...but they'd put your car right back on the street afterward.

I love that idea! I wonder how you'd compel people to pay the tow company in a timely fashion, though? If people left it until their next registration, I suspect a tow company couldn't wait that long. Maybe (when you're in charge) they tow the car, put it back and put a boot on it?
Anyway, none of this is likely, alas.

You'd have to pay the ticket, which could pay the cost of the towing.
