Deskripsyon
The same truck parks on the curb ,causing traffic to swerve around it, day in and day out. For some reason the truck is never ticketed. As a tax payer and recent home owner here it kills me to see that kind of stuff especially when it's a hinderence and hazard to so many daily drivers.
ay nagtanong din...
T. Please describe the traffic issue (i.e., speeding, traffic lights, etc.)
S. Truck parks half on the curb, half in the street daily Cushing drivers to swerve around. It can be especially dangerous when trying to avoid pot holes in the winter.

Since the neighborly thing is to ask people politely to not do a thing, I did this a while back. The man who owned the house (or lived in it) got very angry. He claimed a right to park there because there wasn't enough driveway space for all the cars that need to park there. He suggested that he would assault anyone who messed with his car.
Since the people living in the house will not listen to neighbors, I would request that the police tell the people to knock it off.
Of course, police officers live there or are related to people who live there... So.....

If you call it in to the police they simply call the person who parks there so they move before the police come
It is a problem that occurs with substantial regularity throughout the city AND with the privatized parking enforcement.
One of the neighbors on my street specially boasted how they has befriended the "enforcer" so when people in neighborhood call on his tenants (illegal) non permitted vehicle, the parking enforcer calls him to let him know someone's on way to ticket the car.
You have seen at least six specific examples of this practice on seeclickfix which I would argue represent perhaps only a tiny fraction of to the extent this issue presents itself
99% of people in city don't use this site
No one is accountable
Just hire more police to enforce. If they enforce it will generate tickets. Tickets generate money. Which in turn pays for the added police. How much does the traffic company get paid? Is it contracted as is or based on the amount of tickets they produce?(I would doubt that)
Fire the chief and start cracking down. The city needs this bad.

So did calling 781-391-6404 get the car moved? Once that proves to work, then there is the question on ensuring that calls become unnecessary and the practice stops always and everywhere.
All sidewalk parking should end and is probably an ADA violation to permit it, but each offender will feel the very human feeling of having something taken that was theirs.
I just read in a scholarly article opposed to sidewalk parking that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in 1897 that he had some sympathy for wrongful squatters:
"A thing which you have enjoyed and used as your own for a long time, whether property or an opinion, takes root in your being and cannot be torn away without your resenting the act and trying to defend yourself, however you came by it."
Ending the practice of sidewalk parking is going to be hard. See also Elm St below Wrights Pond.

I would say that the more pictures you can take and post, day in and day out, the more likelyhood something will get done.
I saw car on Winthrop curb yesterday
Also how come so many of these posts are getting blocked??

It may help in thwarting their actions by giving a heads up of when specifically vehicle most likely to be parked there.
....Nothing else seems to be working ...

I just went by there, and the ford SUV was being parked by two women.
I pointed and said what's up with that, they informed me that they were doing nothing wrong.
Politeness does not work.

Walked by two women parking their suv at this house a few minutes ago. I said what's up with that, and they told me they weren't doing anything wrong.
