“Dear PoPville,
I counted 11(!) booted cars this morning between N Capitol and Tuckerman and N Capitol and Van Buren Streets yesterday morning. And at lunchtime, there are 3 tow trucks in the area towing booted cars away. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for five years and have never seen parking enforcement near our house.
I’ve even reported abandoned cars (left for months) to 311 to have them tell me abandoned cars are not their problem. I’m also curious if it is common to get booted and towed within a few hours. But perhaps the city needs to get its equipment back and/or these were some egregious offenders.
Tough day for the owners of the cars but I have to say it’s nice to see the city actually do something for once. Especially since our area seems to be a favorite spot for people to abandon cars.”
