This car has been parked in this spot for more than several months. It is definitely an eye sore and is covered with leaves.

Traffic Unit acknowledges issue

Vehicle is legally registered to street and there is no violation.

Does this vehicle have the proper permits to stay parked on the street (beyond registration)? If not, it is in violation. If so, how long until the street permit runs out?

State and local Medford ordinance states: "...no person shall leave any partially dismantled, wrecked, junked, nonoperative or discarded vehicle upon any street or other public grounds.....
This vehicle is nonoperative and discarded. It has not been moved for many months. It should be removed from this street.

Yes the vehicle has the proper permit to park on Clayton ave but i thought there is a law that a vehicle can't ve parked in rhe same spot and must be moved after a 72 hour time limit

Traffic Unit is aware of the issue and will reach out to resident.

Still waiting for someone to remove this vehicle its been 3 months now with out being moved. It's a total eye sore littered with bird droppings and tree debris. Please remove this vehicle so residents can park on this street.

This is a disabled vehicle and according to state and city regulations, it shouldn't be left in the same spot for more then 72 hours. It's been many months. The owner, who lives across the street, obviously doesn't care and is not even trying to move it, clean it, or take care of the car in any way. Other residents here are trying to keep the street clean and nice but the owner of this car turns this street into a junk yard.

Given that this care is abandoned, would the owners just donate it? https://www.wheelsforwishes.org/massri/

I don't know the owners, but perhaps those who do know them could recommend it/ help them through the donation process. Donated cars are towed away, so they don't need to work.

Can the City of Medford resolve this issue? Seems there are multiple people expressing their concern here that the city could do more to have the car removed or have the owner move the car to their driveway. The owners were asked about the car and they said the battery died and they were putting a new battery in that week. That was a month ago. I think it is very clear they do not have any intent on getting the car moving again. It seems the city could at the very least encourage the owner to move the car into their driveway.

I don't understand why this vehicle is still parked in the same exact spot. It's covered with even more tree debris and bird droppings than before. Maybe if we have it towed and parked in front of Captain Clementes house or Sgt. Chsrles hartnetts house this issue would be resolved..
