Posted by MP, a resident of the Palo Verde neighborhood, on Jan 2, 2007 at 3:33 pm If you care so much about the environment, you should move your vehicle so debris and other particles wont get washed into the storm drains. These drains flow directly into the bay without treatment. It's suppowed to rain late tomorrow and early Thursday by the way.
I can't tell you how many times I'm also sick and tired of having my neighbors block the street sweepers. Apparently the single-house next door has been converted to some tenement with 8 residents each with their own cars. It's already January and by now all the leaves have fallen from the trees on my street, yet beneath 8 parked cars there remain scattered leaves rotting away in standing water.
Residents should be grateful for having the city provide a great service to keep streets clean. We're also lucky that our streets don't have an outrageous number of parking restrictions like San Francisco. I used to live there on a street with many restrictions...
No parking on every 2nd and 4th Thursday (Except Holidays)
Resident Parking Permits Only Mon-Sun 9am-8pm (costs more than $100!)
Commercial Vehicles Loading Zone Mon-Fri 8am-9am & 5pm-6pm
Remember to Curb Wheels (Violators subject to fine)
No Parking MUNI Bus loading zone Mon-Sat 7am-8pm
ETC ETC ETC
Maybe I have mistaken the times but you get the point.
