Hard to see around cars parked blocking the crosswalk
To whom it may concern Hello, I’m writing to express my concern regarding an incident that happen on 10/16/24. My vehicle had an electrical fire down town on 4th street in front of the India restaurant. I am a single mother of three daughters who I’m struggling to greatly to afford with the cost of food continuing to raise. I work at a CNA during the day while my children are in school but it doesn’t always provide enough. I was doing uber the night of so I could feed my family. My family is my responsibility and I take that very seriously. After the electrical fire, I had no way of moving the vehicle. The officer on scene gave me permission to leave the vehicle parked until I could get ahold of my insurance company. It was not in the road way, it wasn’t blocking traffic, the restaurant owner was not concerned about it being left there, he told me himself that I could park it in his parking space behind the restaurant. unfortunately it could not be moved without a tow truck. the vehicle was left in a parking place and the officer stated that adjustments could be made due to the Circumstances. The next morning I spoke with insurance and the vehicle was supposed to be picked up. I informed the parking enforcement department that it would be moved. Also explaining that it was not possible for me to pay for a tow at that time. I understand the inconvenience of the situation and I apologized over and over. The woman I spoke with got nasty with me several times and hung up on me twice while I was trying to explaining to her my situation and how limited I was but I was doing everything I could. I called the insurance company over and over explaining the importance of the vehicle being moved. The last phone call I got from the parking enforcement woman was the nastiest. She was extremely aggressive and was using her job tittle as a weapon. She told me after this call I will ticket the vehicle every hour until it’s moved and then proceeded to hang up on me yet again. After about the second call I realized the woman’s aggression was progressing so I recorded the last two phone calls for the purpose of bringing her behavior to the attention of anyone above her. The way that I was treated was uncalled for and more importantly it was cruel. To be ridiculed, threatened and quite frankly bullied should not be accepted and I get the feeling it’s not her first time. I will go as far as I need to if this situation is not handled, because there is no humanity in kicking someone while they are down. I not only was given the ticket but treated with so much disrespect. Her position gives her the power to bully the citizens of this community and someone needed to bring attention to it. She said her name was Jessica and she worked on 10/16/21.
On Morton Street between Kirkwood and 6th. Delivery trucks regularly driving and parking the wrong direction.
Your system is flawed. I’m entirely convinced no one reads the parking ticket appeals because you just want to abuse the college students and you love to abuse your power
This landlord must have put up a sign for at least 5 private parking spots. I thought private parking would have a price. Brenda Lane
I want to apply for a Neighborhood Parking Permit, and found a page of FAQ, but did not see a link to the actual parking permit application.
This vehicle has parked here for a while without a permit and has been reported though BHA does nothing. The license plate is expired, located at 1315 W 12th St. Please tow to open parking in front of my house. Thanks so much for your help.
The changes to the Zone 4 parking permits for MCPL staff is a disgraceful lapse of judgement. The city MUST offer alternative parking options for hardworking public servants commuting to the downtown area. If it is too much work to discover a reasonable accommodation then you must relent and return the permits to the MCPL Human Resources department to disseminate amongst staff who need them. To serve the public we have to get to where we serve the public reliably. In the winter, in the rain, in record-breaking heat, and especially during the university's academic year when downtown parking is at its scarcest. To be treated like a problem that will scuttle away in the name of making a little more money on parking meters is folly compounded by blatant cruelty.
In reference to case number 161348. I still have not gotten a response and submitted on 9/28. This is a hinderance since I still do not have parking due to the discrepencies between your website and the map hanging in the parking dept. office.
