yes let's please pat ourselves in the back for revenue generation and not addressing any of the core problems of the city, or doing anything productive to solve them!!

This is something residents are asking for. If these tickets pay to fill a pothole, I’m all for it.

this is Baltimore city. when has the money actually been allocated positively?

we pay insanely high property taxes but it roads are shit and the schools are failing. or police budget is astronomical compared to other cities this size, but crime is overly rampant.

but hey yeah let's pay some dude to make Reddit post weekly about how many tickets we issue to people parking in bike lanes. that will set this city on the right course!

This is a consistent complaint from folks on this sub and I often hear it in my community association meetings. I’m glad that our voices were heard and they are doing something about it. I don’t see what the big deal is.

thank God a couple of white people in Hampden, canton, mt royal and other gentrified neighbors are relieved of the incontinence of having a few cars parked where in the bicycle lane. it's awesome that the 44 tickets that they have issued has raised what $6k total? totally covers the 3 enforcement officers, asking with the truck and road crew that can fix the single pothole that revenue covers 👍🏼.

What crawled up your ass? Traffic enforcement is one of the things this city needs most. I’ll take what I can get. Lighten up bud

this city and it's government only care about and only announce anything "good" that happens in "nice" neighborhoods.

there is no care of consideration for anything south of pratt st. every fucking week the city is paying themselves on the back for parking tickets, claiming it is about public safety, yet refuse to acknowledge it do anything meaningful about crime and corruption in the police force

The new Rec center in cherry hill? The Middle branch reimagining project? Generally all organizations (govt or not) tend to advertise “the good” they are doing. You tend to only hear about the nicer neighborhoods because that’s where the majority of this sub live.

and you just fucking nailed the problem on the head, this is nothing but fucking useless propaganda to make make the spilled shit kids in this sub feel better about themselves and their "hardships"

and that rec center in Cherry Hill? the one being built next to the yeah collection center? built just high enough so the assholes that will over pay for their seasonal apartment in port Covington can see it and feel better about themselves?

sorry but have to wake up in 5 hours so i can make my way from pigtown to Curtis bay on shit roads and replace my suspension in 2 weeks for the 3rd time in 18 months because of the sad state of the roads. but hey at least i get to look at some sweet waterslides. and i can sleep knowing Hopkins students will only have to serve past a few cars riding their bikes

Yes because the kids in cherry hill are also spoiled. Get a grip man, go listen to some legislative oversight hearings if you want to hear some in depth analysis. Don’t expect that on comms like this…

And I’m sure you’d be saying how great this was if the situation was reserved and they were ticketing chronic offenders on your drive.

Parking enforcement is not designed as a revenue-generation tool; it's designed to keep our roadways safe.
