Ok, I stole and mangled a thread there. My rant is with the Park board
and their tree cutting crews. For one WEEK (sorry Mr. Mork) they have signed our
street for No Parking to enable them to cut the diseased trees. The trees
mind you were signed themselves many many months ago (I ranted about that
earlier) and have now infected every other remaining Elm in the immediate
neighborhood; so we have resigned ourselves to this outcome. The park is one block
away,
we want to keep the forestry there as healthy as possible. Cut the damn trees!
Problem is: The tree cutters sign the street, removing an effectual block
of parking in a neighborhood where parking opportunities are already between
zero and nil, and then they don't show up!! They don't do any work. Oh wait,
they do show up to wrap a strip of duct tape around their sign, write on it
with a marker and change the day No Parking is supposed to be in effect. What the
hell? At least the monitors are not ticketing any more, I can just imagine
how I'd feel if I had to pay a couple hundred bucks to bail my car out and came
back to the exact same situation for which I'd supposedly been towed.
I'd appreciate it if Annie or anyone else could explain this b.s., I've a
bunch of tenants who want to know.
