Description
I am going to report a illegal parking issue. The reason is because we've called the police department a bunch of times to come out to right tickets but they don't seem to be doing anything.
The issues is that people are parking in an area with a sign that says no parking anytime. People started parking there this past summer and they pull up over the curb and park in the grass. They've done this so much that they've killed all the grass and have turned that area into dirt. Sometimes they park so far up in the grass that they block the sidewalk. So not only are they parking illegally they have killed the grass that the condo complex will have to pay to replace. On the weekends there will be cars parked on both sides of the street blocking the road to the point that only one car can get through at a time.
So I'm reaching out to get help to get the police to start patrolling this area regularly and start issuing tickets or towing. The most common time is in the afternoons (between 4pm and 6pm) and the weekends. I'm attaching a picture to show you a few cars parked illegally and the damage to the grass. I could go out every afternoon and take a picture just like this one. Any help would be appreciated.
