- Hello, I was woken up at 9am this morning after going to bed at 3am after a 14 hour workday being told if I did not move my car from the construction zone, it would be towed. The only problem is, I WAS NOT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. The relevant permit is GCU-1826993. This is for a crane. I was parked OUTSIDE THE SIGNS they posted to reserve their space. Well, even though their crane fit, they wanted more space. Why is the Boston Police acting as the personal parking police for for-profit corporations who fail to follow simple permitting and signage rules? Why are the police enforcing against residents, and not against the company that personally posted the signs and decided they didn't reserve enough space? This entire interaction is inverted - we follow the rules to leave them the parking space even when we can't find a spot, but it doesn't matter if they follow the rules because they can do whatever they want with the police's help? I would like a written response explaining the city's policy and police enforcement actions when a contractor has either failed to post signage, or needs more space than the signage they posted allows. Is there a 24 hour rule or is there not? Why did the police allow the contractor to make it up as they go this morning, and walk to my apartment to order me to move my car? (Which even they admit they didn't want to, and shouldn't have to, do.
