The people who would be fine with bearing the cost of increased maintenance and penalties would be the ones public transportation is already centered around from the community aspect. This isn't "city or parking" issues. It's something against the law. It's not valid parking.

Reminds me of that corner in the Godzilla movie where they dump a lot of fish to lure it in and launch some missiles at it, but end up getting their asses handed to them instead.

I would have driven on the sidewalk to get out. Problem solved. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If the jcpd were no help with an entire block taken over without parking permits, then laws don’t exist. Sidewalk driving (of course when no pedestrians were around or if you had someone to act as a crossing guard to stop pedestrians for a hot second) so you can get to work. A groups tragedy shouldn’t impede on someone’s lively hood. This should never be allowed. We already deal with street closures for god knows what, the old infrastructure overwhelmed by new construction. A backhoe sinking into the ground, an idiot contractor bursting a water main. Nope. This situation could have been avoided and someone should take responsibility for it.

I've almost been plowed over at least 3 times around this goddamn triangle, and more traumatically an additional 3 times on Second right in front of my building by some reckless asshole turning from Wash going 40+mph because apparently they were in a big hurry to get into the BJs parking lot. There was only one incident where the asshole behind the wheel even bothered to try to slow down. Can't say I'm looking forward to 4 years of construction here where they're cutting off lanes of traffic on Wash...dipshit drivers are gonna dipshit even harder. I'm seriously considering leaving JC at the end of my lease this summer. I don't need to feel like I'm risking my life crossing the street with the right of way just to drop off my dry cleaning, while paying premium rent.
