Illegal Parking

Opened: Feb 16, 2026 at 1:28 PM
Description: For the second time in a week, a trash vehicle has been blocking the sidewalk where an alleyway meets Dartmouth St. As a pedestrian, there is no way around since there are snowbanks blocking the way from the street to sidewalk. I tried to walk around the front and had to hold onto the truck and squeeze between the side of it and the snowbank. This could be dangerous. Another person had to climb over the snowbank to get around but I didn’t think that was safe for me to do. I told the truck driver that he was blocking the entrance. There is no reason that these trucks need to block pedestrian walkways (also known as sidewalks). We have no where else to walk but the street and then cannot easily get back on the sidewalks. Terrible attitude from the driver, gave me a peace sign hand motion. Seemed to think it was funny. Pedestrians have no rights here, always secondary to cars. I told him I would report him to the police and then he moved but he laughed and said who are you going to report to? I tried to get a license plate but couldn’t see, so I took photos of the truck.
