I agree with you themat the CPD doesnt care cars double parking on broadway, however, the twitter post your are referring to is not traffic due to double parking.
There was gridlock everywhere because of many factors but mainly the fact thAt both bridges to east Boston had gone up at about the same time.
Include the fact that you have parents dropping off kids at school, school & MbTa buses, cross guards stopping traffic every 30 seconds on a rainy day... all of that will cause a traffic nightmare.
I can attest to what I’ve said because I had to drop off my niece at the ELC and then try to get on the Tobin to go to work.

I avoid Broaway as much as possible. SAD!

Thank you for reporting this issue. We will have CPD review the situation.

Will the situation on Broadway get better or worse if they change the traffic pattern. Let's all put on our thinking caps and consider this

The City recognizes that double parking on Broadway is a long-standing problem. We have asked the Police Department to pay more attention to this traffic violation, and the Chief has issued two written directives in the past few months to his entire Patrol Division to pay closer attention to this issue. However, realistically, the long term solution to this problem is the redesign of Broadway, which we expect will create a new One Way traffic pattern far less conductive to double parking than currently exists. That design process is still ongoing, although we hope to have the final design approved by the City Council in early 2019.

Please do not close the ticket until it actually, and demonstrably, has been resolved. Thank you.

Lots of rehearsed talk and no action from city officials. Typical politicians..
Why don’t you get out of the cruiser, ask to see drivers license and issue tickets??? I think I know why
We will have to wait 3 years to have the issue fixed? Can I wait 3 years to pay my dues (taxes)to the city? Stop giving us the run around

We have notified our Police Dept and Parking enforcement about our double parking issue. We understand that this has been an ongoing issue and we are putting an effort into solving this issue everyday. We take the safety of our residents and visitors very seriously. We will continue to monitor and enforce the situation. We will close this request and leave request #5381974 open for future comments.

None of the tickets on this issue should be closed until the issue has actually been addressed - to do otherwise is to artificially improve your metrics without actually having done anything.

How does making it "less conducive" actually fix the problem? People will still try, especially delivery drivers. I've driven down Broadway with people double parked on both sides, and no one cares.

I reiterate that the ticket should not be closed until the matter has been satisfactorily resolved. The fact that you have now locked this so residents are no longer able to change its status seems to indicate that you are more interested in maintaining a positive close rate than in addressing the issue.
