Two Sundays ago, visiting in-laws parked on Park St in front of Pierson College, slightly west of Edgemont. No "No Parking" was visible. Nevertheless - presto! - a $30- ticket issued. Upon inspection I took a video of a "No Parking" sign clearly blocked by foliage (see attached still photo).
Dirty, revenue raising pool - two cars with $30 tix were right next to the invisible sign.
"Welcome to New Haven" the place that's glad to mess with people who just drove 1,700 miles from Texas to visit after a 28 year hiatus!
We just paid the rapacious ticket - past the all too swift time to appeal - 15 days - a cynical manipulation of the consumer in and of itself. In marketing, that's called "counting on slippage" to hit a target number. You guys should be bigger than that. In your personal lives you're really nice people; why allow this unnecessary nonsense to alienate townsfolk?
