Call 203 946-6316 when you see it.

Thanks for the post. The parking enforcement division has been notified.

XYZ - I reported this issue. Whose number is that? I'm happy to give it a try I'd just like to know who I will be expecting to get on the phone.

And ditto to Pam's comment. This has been going on for years. To his credit, Jim Travers (when he was Director), would take the time to personally go over and deal with it on weekends. The trucks are also responsible for overflowing garbage receptacles. I think the drivers come off the road and dump what they've accumulated in the city trash bins.

Parking enforcement personnel investigated this issue and found no vehicles in violation of city ordinance. We are closing this issue, but if the problem persists please generate a new request with verified information and details. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Thanks for fixing this request!

Whoah nothing was fixed. They will be back this weekend or next or the weekend after.

I gave you "verified information and details" U.S. DOT #s and truck ownership. Did anyone try to call the companies and explain that their drivers are violating the law when they park there?

Here------- I got this off the web and I know it's the correct company because I recognize the logo

Midwest Refrigerated Services, Inc
PO Box 770
Elkhorn, WI 53121

Get In Touch:
(262) 723-4100

Please be proactive. By the time I generate a new request they will be gone again.

The 203 946-6316 number is the police. For the most part they do not monitor this site which is way you have to call.

I can't believe the police will respond to this. They want nothing to do with traffic enforcement. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Me
The police will come out.
If you post here by the time Dept of Transportation does something they will be gone. You first posted this on May 8 and this was what the Dept of Transportation posted on May 14

Another tractor trailer was parked there yesterday (May 15th) evening. Warner trucking. I didn't have my phone to call police. But again I implore traffic and parking to be a tiny bit proactive. The trucks are there regularly. When you are around and about town stop by between Whalley and Blake. Odds you will find a semi tractor trailer.

I did call the police non emergency number last night (May 15) but I don’t know if anyone showed up to ticket the Nebraska plate truck.

Good job,Pam

Me, if you want this to stop you are going to have be more proactive by calling the police as soon as you see it. You should also call your alderperson if things do not improve

Meriden recently passed legislation that addresses commercial vehicles parked in residential areas. I am exploring with City Plan what sort of legislation for better enforcement would best fit New Haven to address this ongoing problem in various spots in our City.

Alder Furlow, it's already there:
Sec. 29-53. - Parking trucks in residential zones.
No person having the custody and control of a vehicle or vehicles with capacities of more than half-a-ton, shall be permitted to park on any street in any residential zone at any time of the day or night. However, such vehicles shall be permitted in residential zones when in the conduct of a service being simultaneously performed.

Any operator or person operating such vehicle or vehicles in violation of the above provisions shall be subject to a penalty as set forth in section 29-30(a), herein.

If the city wants "better enforcement" they should start with good ol', tried and true enforcement.

We have the law now call the police 203 946-6316 and have them enforce it.

Same truck parked on Jewel St. tonight (May 16) as last night. Last night I called the police--apparently nothing was done. I didn't bother tonight.

You have to keep calling if not this will continue

Pam, I compliment you for calling but you sadly got the result I expected. The police will not respond to these complaints. I don't if its because they are otherwise honestly engaged or whether they view it as b...s.... complaints beneath their dignity; ie. not a law enforcement matter.

That is why I keep insisting that Traffic and Parking need to get out there and enforce.

Alder Furlow. Your efforts are appreciated. Can you push T&P to do something? Again calling the companies and letting them know their drivers are parking illegally may have some effect.
