Parking enforcement warning

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

I just noticed that one of my neighbors picked up a $30 fine for parking within 30' of an intersection. This is one of those bullshit tickets that tend to enrage, because people have been parking in that same spot since I moved here to Somerville about 4 years ago. There yellow "no parking" curb markings are only 5' from the intersection and this car is parked beyond it.

So keep in mind the city is probably running short on tax revenues and are sending the men and women in blue around to help fill the city coffers by ticketing for the ridiculously nit-picky and arcane things.

I think it has more to do with the recent fire where the FD couldn't get down the street due to illegally parked cars.
