Parking Antics #1-Update

March 11, 2011-A buddy asked me why get such a big huff about these bad drivers in the City, well I just hate the City's policy of "Selective Enforcement" and the 'New Age Worker's Attitude.'

This morning right on schedule at 8:25 a.m., I spotted the delivery truck on Stockton Street & Union Street double parked; when there are plenty of empty parking spaces on the curb in front and across from the establishment he was delivering supplies to.
At least this week, the driver did not park in the blue zone---several parked cars are in spaces front of the zone today! 

No law enforcement agencies would cite the truck as a violation or a hazard, since...#1-Is double parking illegal? #2-Who is it hurting? and finally #3-That's a famous establishment he's delivering to.
Let's see...plenty of pedestrians crossing nearby, cars trying to maneuver around the double parked truck, and cars waiting on intersection to make turn onto that block. A typical morning with no hazard in sight.

I forgot my final point: 'New Age Worker's Attitude.' Some of the workers have embrace a new standard of...take the easy path, why work so hard and to heck with others. It would take too much effort and consideration to others if I had to pull to the curb to unload the supplies.
