snow-emergency parking nitpick?

[lyonesse.livejournal.com]

a cop just drove down the street with a loudspeaker saying to move cars off the even side of the street lest they be towed.

i had thought (and many years of watching the towing patterns seemed to bear this out) that even-side-only parking was only true for streets where odd-side parking was actually available.

anyone have an authoritative reference for this?

As I posted in your journal, I saw someone getting a ticket for *something* on the even side of Kidder.

The city website doesn't say anything about a policy change, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out they'd changed the rules without making it well known. More money for Joe and his cronies @ Pat's...
