I just walked the south sidewalk of the 100 & 200 blocks of Carolina Street and counted (on only one side, of only two blocks) seven vehicles with expired or missing license plates. What a sad example of the complete neglect of the rules of civilized society in our city.
In that same area, there are city touts out daily ticketing vehicles for overstaying artificially created and barely justified limited parking zones, while vehicles with no legal right to be on our streets, and no certifiable evidence of their safety on the road, are allowed to drive and park without regard. Are we being governed by a city government enforcing the law, or organized criminals, favoring their cohorts, and enforcing a protection racket on everyone else?

Why can't there be some sort of clean-up where the city can make some money off of these vehicles, unclaimed can be auctioned off or scrapped. Impound fees for those claimed. Something, anything is far better than allowing them to continue to accumulate as they are.

Frankly I don’t get it either. Wouldn’t tickets, fines and impound fees cover payroll for one or two parking/traffic enforcement officers? They have $$ to contract out to a company for the waterfront parking. Why not expand their patrol area?

07/24/2018: I guess that we have an answer to this question.

Yes indeed, thanks Justine. It's only been six months (since this report, more like two years since the problem began), and the situation is only moderately worse.
Also thanks to our Mayor and City Manager, for the nothing they have done in the two months since Justine forwarded the report to them. This is the kind of service we've come to expect from our City Hall.
And finally, thanks to our city's law enforcers (As Seen on TV) for their consistent and disciplined effort to not live up that title.

"$500,000 for parking enforcement but only in the waterfront and downtown zones... "
Only? The 100 & 200 blocks of Carolina Street referenced in the original report are only one block east of the waterfront, and one block north of City Hall. What removes them from consideration? Could it be the ethnicity, income, or just the political donations of the of the residents?

"Police often ignore these issue because they are understaffed."
Compared to which other cities are the VPD understaffed? They certainly aren't underpaid!

Please report abandoned vehicles on public property directly to VPD Traffic Unit using one of the methods below:
- Call (707) 648-4682
- Email trafficmobile@cityofvallejo.net
- Use the online reporting tool accessible via the Police Online Services webpage here: http://www.cityofvallejo.net/city_hall/departments___divisions/police/police_online_services/
Please be prepared to provide the following information:
- Vehicle make
- Vehicle color
- License plate number
- Location of the vehicle
- Info about why the vehicle appears abandoned
Currently, there is a backlog of reports on the abandoned vehicle list, and providing detailed information to ONE of the approved reporting tools will help the Traffic Division more efficiently investigate reports given their reduced resources.
Please direct all questions and concerns to the Traffic Division at (707) 648-4329. More information about the division is on their webpage here: http://www.cityofvallejo.net/city_hall/departments___divisions/police/our_units/traffic. Thanks for using SeeClickFix.
