Agreed it has felt like a predatory shakedown lately. In November my wife parked with her residential parking sticker in a residential spot on our street. The city erected a handicapped sign right on top of her spot - which has always been a residential spot the 6 years that we’ve lived here. She came out to her car the next day after having parked it, or the day after, and had gotten a ticket.

Are we responsible for continually monitoring our parking spaces to make sure the rules don’t change? There was no warning or notice here.

She had an virtual appeal with the city the other week. I wasn’t there for it but the lady evidently told her it “wasn’t likely” to get overturned. They were going to inquire with the DPW as to when the sign was installed.

I have other stories…
