Description
Cars parking at an apartment complex at the corner of Pine and Hancock Street have completely taken over the public sidewalk. This is not a one time issue but it has become their permanent private parking area, forcing residents into the street.
This is a very busy and hazardous intersection and many parents use it on the way to the South School.
It is only a matter of time before a pedestrian gets hit after being forced to walk in the street.

Parking violation notices may have been issued, but the sidewalks are still blocked.
this picture was taken today. Tuesday. I reopened this case because I didn't think it
was appropriate to have it closed if the public safety issue still exists. My children and I should have safe access to the town sidewalks.

Let's give the police a few days to cruise by and check on the situation after issuing violations. I'm sure they will be checking on these violaters to make sure they are not continuing to block our sidewalk.
This seems so blatant, I can't imagine the police department will turn a blind eye to it.

Police Department does not seem to want to do!

It lookes like this issue is being swept under the carpet by the police.
The police closed this issue in 3 days without taking any "real" action. It's been over 2 weekend and nothing has changed. Parents with, children, strollers, and carriages are in the street and the cars are still on the sidewalk.

I drove my children to school on Wednesday and stopped at the end of Middle Street at Pine and saw that the parking situation has not been resolved at all. I took these pictures because you would have to see it to believe it. This is 15 days after the original complaint. I'm not sure what the police department's official stance on this is. Obviously these cars are not being ticketed or they wouldn't be parking like this anymore. It would be helpful if the police department would speak up and tell us what their position on this is. Pedestrians shouldn't have to go through this just to walk safely to school or any other time.
Today I see that the cars are pulled up a bit further off the sidewalk although not completely. They've done this before only to have them back on the sidewalk a few days later. We'll see how long this lasts before we have to be back here again.
Thank you.
