Public safety sign: [No] What kind of sign (description of sign): [Broken HV-P Parking sign that needs repair work. It is located at 8 Park Plaza, in front of PF Chang's restaurant on the Charles Street side. At this moment we moved the broken sign from its original locations to the State Transportation Building Load Dock. If a maintenance crew is ready available they can retrieve the sign Monday - Friday between 8:00am - 4:00pm. Please Let me know if you have any questions. Thank You.] Is the pole still there: [No]

it was knocked down and the broken part is still in ground. But it is by a handicap ramp and now cars and trucks park there and on the corner making it unsafe. | Public safety sign: [No] What kind of sign (description of sign): [It was a no parking anytime sign.] Is the pole still there: [No]

I don't know if it was intentional or not to remove the signs, but it is not safe or practical to allow parking on both sides of a two way street that is not wide enough for four cars across, so I hope it was not intentional. Every time there is a 103 union function they park all the way to the corner on both sides. It is an extremely dangerous situation. The cars block the view up the street as well as leaving only one car width open. The street should be no parking on one side the entire length of the street. | Public safety sign: [No] What kind of sign (description of sign): [There used to be no parking signs on the parking lot side and now there are just stubs.] Is the pole still there: [No]

Note submitted to Parking Services: On Tuesday evening (11/17/09, at about 5:30pm, I found a parking meter space, the first space after turning left from Cambridge Street onto Bowdoin Street (and I failed to get the house #, to prove this was Bowdoin Street -- my apologies). After parking correctly, I walked up approx. 30 feet, to read carefully the closest sign that I could find. It indicated "no parking" for street cleaning. When I came returned to my car after my event in the John Adams Courthouse and found a ticket on my windshield, I went back and made a phone-photo of the sign I had read in that section of the street (see attached). When I read the ticket, it said the violation was "Resident Parking Only" - which was not evident in the signage on that part of the street. Rather, I found I would have had to walk forward an ADDITIONAL 30 feet up the hill (east) on Bowdoin to have been able to read the operative sign. So my concern is that,no only myself, but everyone else in that row that night received tickets. So it was not only my mistake, or inability to see the operative signage. The available signage is incomplete and misleading. Could I suggest that there is a simple remedy: just add a narrow sign to the existing "street cleaning" sign, that says, 6pm - 8pm, Resident Permit required". This means you don't need to add a new sign post. The current situation appears to be a nightly "gotcha" for people unfamiliar with that area. I thought Boston had a reputation for fairness, but this signage choice makes me wary of visiting downtown again. I may not have been persuasive, but I hope you can research my concern, and get back to me.
