48 hour resident parking rule

[robin bobo]

Hi,

I just got slapped with a parking ticket for leaving my car in one spot for 48 hours. (I am a resident.) I guess it was obvious from the snow piled on top of it.

But this just sounds like a bad law. Why would you want to incentivize people to move their cars every 2 days? I am not blocking thing, I am in a legal parking spot, no one is hurt by me leaving my car where I park it all of the time. If they have problem with me leaving snow on my car, then the law should be, "Residents must clear snow from car within 48hours of snow storm."

From my memory and experience, no. In fact, if I remember correctly, there are signs that say something to that effect in the T&P office (ie: "Appointment required for hearing officer hours" or something like that). However, that is stated without any basis in fact or policy so YMMV.

From the last time I was in there, I remember seeing something about drop-in hours, when anyone could go and wait in line for a hearing, however, I can't seem to find anything on the city's website about it. Either I'm not remembering this correctly, or possibly the policy has changed. Or it's just not publicized.
