Where the street sign has been placed causes me to have to park so far forward that I cross the parking line. If I don't when the kids get out of the car the door hits the sign post. Did anybody (with the street grid engineers) have a ruler when they designed the project?
My neighbor's driveway. Not that they use it much, but I feel like they should have the option without the chance of getting blocked in ...
Brad also informed the city. Two weeks later, he hasn't heard back from anyone.
It's worth noting that our street department had nothing to do with the grid modernization design (HWC Engineering) and implementation (Ragle). Still, street department employees probably will be dealing with seemingly minor matters like this for some time to come ... except they aren't minor at all for daily users.
Let's hope someone in the bunker is reading, and gives Brad the courtesy of a reply.
After all, if dentists on Spring Street regularly receive valet city attorney service for parking complaints, shouldn't we all?
