Perhaps this should be brought up with Ddot so that those spots can be used for a prescribed period of time, and so that their intrepid meter personnel can keep an eye on the parking squatters.
People who park in those spaces and feel that they can just leave their cars there for weeks on end are really selfish.
Me, Me, Me!
How about Management doing something about this situation to make it equitable for all and so that as we come home in the evening we don't have to swing around the mail truck, or UPS, or Fedex, or the guy in the Escalade, or the girl in the Honda civic, or the....Do you get the picture?
This is annoying. The entire car situation here is terrible. No guest parking in the garage. Crappy street parking. And how about no street parking permits for residents! I've always lived in a building that had an area in the front of the building for temporary parking for about 15 minutes. Typically you had to register your car with the front desk so they could tow you if you didn't leave after the alloted time. By not having this type of...LUXURY at our building we're left to people space hogging (and never leaving), double parking, or even illegal parking (note the police car that is parking illegally every day across the street).
ReplyDeleteWe need a complete convenience overhaul in this building. Because currently, there are none.
Put a Pay To Park meter in front of the building. That will take care of the lingerers.
ReplyDeleteI don't exactly see how it's "selfish" if someone is taking a perfectly legal parking spot. It's legal, deal with it. Until it's changed to 15 or 30 minute parking (which it should be), or MPD actually enforces the law (I've seen this happen exactly once), nothing will change. The double parking and dangerous traffic pattern is ridiculous, and unfortunately at the rate DDOT moves, it's going to take a serious accident before anything is done (changing the parking, a stop sign at Half and I, speed bumps, etc.).
