Bumper Cars Compete For Limited Parking
One of our neighbors and a member of HB Neighbors sent us this posting about parking in front of his house.
Kirk of 11th Street went on to say:
On Saturday my son was leaving to go to a friend’s house and noticed that his left rear taillight was cracked. Parking was crazy early in the morning. There was no available parking and the cars that were fortunate to have a space were jammed so close together they couldn’t safely get out of their spots. Unfortunately this is a common occurrence and people are forced to play bumper cars to get in and out of spaces. My son’s car was damaged as a result. We are not sure what type of vehicle was parked behind my sons Honda Element, but it was high enough to miss the bumper but hit the tail light. Of course after they damaged the car they did not leave a note.
We hung out in the front yard quite a bit Sunday and Monday and witnessed vehicles bump others a few times, cramming both small cars and large SUV’s into the unmarked spots.
Having marked parking spots like 5th & 6th St would prevent most of the damage issues. But we still don’t have enough parking to support all the visitors who want to get to the beach or visit downtown.
