Early this evening, a parking enforcement officer was about to ticket a car parked in this space. When I pointed out the almost total absence of red paint on the curb, he demurred for just this one time. I don't think many Oakland residents object to parking enforcement when there's a legitimate offense - but they have every right to object when the City isn't holding up their end of the bargain and the unfortunate thing is that they frequently take it out on the nearby businesses that aren't responsible by refusing to return. In addition, it's a no-parking zone due to the proximity of the crosswalk. Who's going to take the blame if a car backs up and hits a pedestrian?

This has not been resolved. Please keep open.

Another alternative to re-painting the curb red would be to post it for "Police Parking" only.

It has not yet been painted.

Not yet painted - 300 days and counting.

Thank you. The no parking zone has been painted red and the adjacent handicapped parking zone, which I didn't mention, has been painted blue.
