[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my experience, MPD won't usually tow, but they will ticket. Keep calling and requesting a ticket. Just a reminder, it's 911 for all police requests, not just emergencies.

I haven't kept track, but I've probably called in about $1,000 worth of tickets over the past few years.[/quote]

Thanks. Great idea. I'll start doing this as well in my neighborhood.  On Sundays, more than 50% of parked cars have Maryland tags, and I'm not even counting the cars parked illegally.  I can never find parking.  This is inexcusable given that there's a metro nearby and a bus stop right in front of the church..[/quote]

[b]If they're parked legally, there's nothing you can do.
You'd have to go through the process to get your block changed to zone parking only for whatever days / times[/b].  I've seen some parking that is zone parking only 24/7.

You're not reading.  They are parked illegally.  Hill residents have residential parking stickers - they are the only ones in most neighborhoods who can park for more than 2 hours.  What has been happening for decades is that the church-goers come alone and block in the residential cars.  So not only do they not have Hill tags, but they block in the residents who need their own cars.  And it's a fire hazard as well because the streets are too narrow in most situations to handle three lanes of parked cars (the two legally parked lanes, right next to the curb, then also the church goers, parked in a third traffic lane.  And trying to deal with the churches and ask them to be polite about it is impossible.  They are just downright RUDE about it.[/quote]
