A month or so ago I met a woman named Joyce on the campaign trail. Joyce owns a small business and was concerned because some of her customers were getting parking tickets and they were not certain what, exactly, the parking regulations are. After two hours (or whatever the posted time is) at one spot, then what? Can you just move to another spot? Move to another block? And if so what exactly constitutes a block in Waltham? If you park in a spot for the allotted time can you leave and come back to that same spot later in the day? Are the regulations the same if there is a parking meter and if there is no meter? These questions were a source of confusion in her shop. I told her I would look into it.
I went to the Waltham transportation website but could not find the
answer there so I stopped in their office on School St. I met with
Michael Garvin, the transportation czar and asked him for a write up or a
map that explains the parking regulations. He didn't have anything
that specifically explained the issue so I took notes, went home, and
drew my own map. I mailed it to Mr. Garvin, got his approval and
brought it in to Joyce. She is thrilled. Has it posted in her shop.
Boy, I hope she manages to upset Stanley. There is no way Stanley would have done that research!
