Haha, I was downvoted for saying a candidate for mayor shouldn't have a bunch of PDFs for their platform. I'm not sure why you're surprised.

This was exactly my reaction when I head they were implementing street sweeping— thank god the car with the cover over it that hasn’t moved in 2 years will finally have to move.

And tow/ticket a whole bunch of poor people's cars so they can't show up to work? It's easy to say "tough shit" online, but a whole lot more goes into public administration than that.

Okay, this makes sense. I guess my concern is that the city calls the pilot a "success" and then moves on to something else.

We literally used to do this. The city layout hasn't changed much at all. Roll out the old plans

omg, they really did it - instead of a simple interactive map, they posted 14 individual PDFs.

Alternate-side parking works by sweeping only some streets during some times on some days, and other streets on other times on other days. That way, only a fraction of cars have to move at any one time.
The reason to implement this city wide would be to avoid confusion from people who (for example) regularly park in two different neighborhoods, or to prevent (the inevitable) backlash in the kickoff neighborhoods. The other reason would be to clean the damn city.

That's why they're alternating streets on different days of the week.

My street had signs up for months last year but I never saw a single ticket. Really hoping we get some enforcement this year.

For real, glad everyone’s ok but it’s sad to see that beautiful old stone building burn.

Then move the damn car. This isn’t rocket science and it’s not oppressive.
