I know that no one can do anything about the parking situation created by the linwood dance camp at the Church of the Ascension on Linwood. Therefore, I am just going back to documenting it for fun. Today I got some great video.
I mean you can only tell people so much, and seeing as they have nothing to lose by not following the rules, why would they? One thing I have learned as an adult is: rules, without punishment for breaking them, have no meaning.
Despite the sign that specially says no stopping in or blocking driveway - in giant red letters - and the multitude parking spots
available around the driveway - this dance camp parent decided it was okay for her to park across both driveways for five minutes during pickup from the linwood dancecamp.
It wasn't nearly as bad as the fifteen car traffic jam caused earlier
when one parent double parked in front of the driveway and then
another parent triple parked next to them. You cannot just park in the lanes of a street, ever - on any street.
Even if each parent only parks in the street for five minutes but 30
parents do this - you are talking about a major traffic situation.
They didn't even move despite the other cars beeping, despite
available spots all around, and despite cars being backed up to
north. I think come spring I might get a louspeaker and embarass them by calling them out. At least it would be entertaining.
I really can't understand these peoples blantant disregard for parking rules and especially not the disregard for actual traffic law. Not when there are spots so conveniently located all around.
You guys don't suck. I realize you put forth effort to try and stop it and I am not mad at you, Armand or Karen. There is only so much you can do.
For the driveway, the giant sign with red letters should be enough. And even if they didn't care about the driveway, everyone must realize that you cannot completely block a street with car beeping behind you. They must just no care.
Paul, sorry we suck so much.I'm printing out the pics and am going to show them to Karen and Armand and hopefully she can kick things up a bit. Let me know if there are any more problems with the camp please.
Water balloons in this cold weather would be awesome!!!! I wonder if the water would freeze to things before they came out. It is to bad no one on the street has a two truck that would solve the problem. Once two people had the cars towed to a lot where they had to pay to pick them up, the problem would never happen again. I wish I was the kind of person who knew people cause I would go out and (they will be in Buffalo on Friday and Saturday) get a Monster truck and park it in the drive way. That might give people the message. I wonder if you video people breaking the law and posted it on youtube what would happen. It could just make things worse.
that would be too funny, you would HAVE to record it!
i on the other hand would probably launch water balloons full of good at their car *evil grin*
that's it, i'm going to blockbuster to get vanilla sky!
That is a pretty song
staralfur
Which song was it?
nevermind i found it
paul can you ask someone at the house what sigur ros song that was playing in the background the other day when i was like "oh my god i love that song"?
just make sure you get that loudspeaker by march 15th so i can join in!
