Not sure why other posters are giving you such a hard time, the process is a joke.

I had 2 late last year where there were 3 spots. At the front, it said “no parking, tool truck, 1 spot”. I parked in the middle, behind a tool truck. They’re saying that since there wasn’t an end sign, it counts as a place I shouldn’t have parked.

I had even called the parking office when it happened and they confirmed it was allocated as just one spot, but since their cones get stolen they don’t always put out an “end” sign.

I’ve appealed with photos (denied) and did a hearing yesterday where they told me I had to appeal again (the hell was the point of the hearing then?)

I’m debating between writing it off, or emailing city council suggesting they reinstate using cones, since the parking officials seem to be falsely ticketing without them

jaded Gen Xers and Boomers on Boston area subreddits are always giving shit to people who complain about inefficient programs, basically just because theyve always been there, they work fine, follow the rules, etc etc

Email city council. Please. If they’re going to be this absurd about enforcement, then they at least need to fix the appeals process. Most people can’t afford the time to deal with the endless appeals either.
