Reader Jeffrey Kerekes sent in the following note about possible stepped-up, nighttime street parking enforcement:
There were two City Parking Meter staff ticketing cars on Lyon Street at 9:30 p.m. tonight. They got a lot of cars for parking without stickers. They said that the sign that says two hour parking during day time hours has no meaning in the evenings and that the parking was for zone 5 only.
I am unsure whether they came by earlier in the evening to see if the cars were parked greater than 2 hours. I was shocked to see the city staff out so late at night. I guess this is their new plan to get that extra $500k they are seeking in the budget.
Note: Mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga said that an enforcement operation targeted residential parking zones citywide Thursday night. She said special attention was paid to Lyon Street because of a complaint from a neighbor.
