- Hello. I am writing to request that “No Parking” signs be installed to make it clear that it is illegal to park where there is a long-standing curb cut for the garage for my apartment. I live on the corner of Boston St. and Rawson St. and my garage is on Rawson St. Several days a week, over the last few years, various cars have been parked in front of my garage (past the curb cut) so that my car was blocked inside. (Attached, please find photos of recent examples of this.) Due to the small dead end side street, the street is so narrow that if cars park past the curb cut out, I am not able to get in or out of my garage. I already placed polite letters on the cars explaining that I cannot get in or out of my garage when they are parked past the curb cut out. This clearly did not help. The last few times I called the police about this, they told me that I needed to meet the police officer or they could not do anything about the vehicle being parked there. That can take anywhere from 45 min to 2 hours depending how “busy” they are. Rather than tow or ticket the vehicles, they ran the plate and contacted the vehicle owners to ask them to move their vehicles. The police told me that they cannot ticket or tow the vehicles because it is not posted as a “No Parking” zone. Needless to say, this is a very frustrating situation the has led to me needing to take an Uber to work when my car is blocked in. Thus, I am writing to request that “No Parking” signs be posted there. Please let me know what the process is for this.
