Where are you located? I am in Westville and could try my Chevy Bolt on your charger. There is a charger in the parking lot off Whalley by Blake where you could check your car on another charge point

Aren’t those spots off limits because they’re specifically meant for city workers? It isn’t a fire lane or anything.

Plus your attitude in the report certainly wasn’t going to go far.

And to be clear… PARKING isn’t free, but charging is.

And the technique I described could probably get you out of the garage without paying.

Thank you! That's a good tip!

Is this your personal ChargePoint charger??

And what you can do to save time is try one of the many charge points in the New Haven parking garages. Temple st, air rights, etc all have charge points. It isn’t free, but it’ll be fast.

I’ve also driven into the garages and left in a couple of minutes telling them I drove it by mistake and they let me out. 😂😏

thank you all for your help and encouragement!

so far, all the downtown hotels refuse to provide blocks for that weekend and the ones that do are charging insane rates and/or demanding 2-3 night stays

we’ve reached out to hotels in orange for blocks so that’s been a saving grace and now we’re crossing our fingers for a rehearsal dinner reservation

Whatever - you’d make the perfect corrupt bureaucrat building a moat around your petty privileges if you haven’t already achieved that “goal.” 🙄🤣

Used to work in New Haven hotels - it won’t be too bad if your venue has parking, that’s by far the biggest hurdle! I’d look at some of the hotels in Milford/Orange/Branford for blocks - otherwise you’re gonna see some insane rates in New Haven proper. Let your vendors and guests know to plan for some other traffic, and book your rehearsal dinner venue soon! Let me know if you have any other questions & need help navigating. Congratulations!!

Let me know if you can swing by! I'm not far from a couple main routes.

In Waterbury now but I might be in New Haven this afternoon.

A government worker getting free parking is inequality? OK, Che.

Hotel and parking are your main concerns. Get those squared away and you should be ok. Restaurant reservations if your event needs them.

If this is ongoing, send a picture to the director of parking and transportation (Sandeep Aysola) and a description of the problem.

Doesn't city hall have a whole parking garage??

Lol this is such a busy street, what an entitled person! Even if they are 'exempt' this is completely ridiculous. This needs to be brought to the board of alders or the mayors office so this person can be punished for acting like a complete jerk and disrespecting communal space. Theres a whole parking garage they can use they dont need to park here at all

“Maybe someday I, too, can have things that others are denied and for that reason, I’ll continue to support inequality.”

So if you were that person, and you were granted special parking privileges, you’d take one for the team? Uh huh. 🙄

There is no exemption for parking in areas that are clearly marked no parking. This isn't the case of a vehicle being in a legal spot but not paying the meter, etc. This is a case of a car that parks EVERY SINGLE FUCKING WEEKDAY illegally, directly in front of NO PARKING SIGNS, in an area with clearly marked lines on the road telling people NOT to park there. They then end up blocking part of the lane of travel since they aren't in any spot at all!

Show me an exemption in New Haven ordinances or state statute for this shit.

Opinions are like assholes... Looks like you are one!

You can get Apicella's and Lupi Marchigiano dough at some grocery stores in the area. You could also probably get the dough at the bakeries which are both in New Haven.

Just wait till you find out about Yale vehicles and city parking tickets...

Definitely get the hotels booked ASAP. I think that might be the biggest challenge. There’s just not a lot of lodging here. You could always rent some sort of transportation if people have to book out of town.

Avoid the hotels right off Rt 15 in Amity.

Turns out nobody cares what you’d be fine with.

Exactly.
