No parking tickets while blue collars strike
No driver will receive a ticket for parking on the wrong side during street cleaning hours, from Wednesday to Friday this week, while the blue collar strike is on.
It’s a minor pain in the ass. Last week, somebody parked right outside my place on the day, so the machine had to detour around it. I was pleased to see a ticket on the car afterwards, but that didn’t make up for having our patch of the street remain dirty.

One of many reasons I don’t drive, is that it’d be complicated for me to try to figure out all the rules around parking.

I had this problem once where week after week, cars were parked on the street during street sweeping times so the dirt and garbage were accumulating and getting really bad. They were never getting tickets so people must have thought there was no use moving their cars. I reported it through 311 and the next week, every car got a ticket which continued through the summer. Sure enough, the cars started moving.

Jeez, on my street the ticket agents camp out until exactly the hour then roll down the street electronically ticketing everyone. LIke, not a minute to spare, off they go. Normally, anyhow. Nobody got tickets today.
