DM,
Maybe we also need a BIG HUNKING Slow Down sign around posted both on Coventry and Northern. It cracks me up to see people flying over the speed bumps, only to be stymied by the long light at Ponce and Nelson Ferry.
I do see some traffic slowing with cars parked on both sides of the streets, but that doesn’t mitigate my fears that a little one will bolt out between the cars .. (I’ve been there, done that in the kid dept, but hearing parents scream at the top of their lungs for their freddie to STOP seems to make them run harder …). the problem besides parking in neighborhoods is visibility. . But the no parking signs are small because there was a desire to keep a little aesthetic going, and not ruin the tree line. Yeah right. Oh well.
By the way, anyone can park on Coventry as long as they park THE RIGHT WAY. There is reason those cars parked the wrong way are ticketed; they pose a hazard to other cars and again, visibility.

So sorry…that should be Vidal, not Duval. Guess I am in a New Orleans kind of mind!

This may only be pot stirring:

the PD has had time to go through Woodland, Lamont, and Duval (others) and write tickets to homeowners whose cars are parked/faced incorrectly during the wee small hours. Nice way to start a day with a parking ticket on YOUR car in front of YOUR home.

And BTW, Atlanta Ambassadors don’t write parking tickets. Fact is, Atlanta now outsources that function.
