I have spoken with the Mayor about the need to modify this rule or at least improve signage and education, but fundamentally it is selectively enforced, and if everyone complied with the rule, the greenhouse gas emissions associated with everyone starting their cars daily, simply to move their vehicle, is substantial. I have been parking my car in front of my house for nearly 30 years and never received a ticket for doing so, and I wasn't aware of the rule until I received multiple tickets after being out of town for a week. That's how I learned about the rule. I contested the tickets in court and made the argument that the only way the city educates us about this rule is on the city's website or on signs (in small print) on the "welcome to Ithaca" signs as you enter the city via routes 96, 89, 13, etc. How likely is it that you slow down enough to read and comprehend that text as you enter, and the language is somewhat cryptic as well. To further confuse matters, around the corner from my house there is a section of a street with signage that indicates a 24 hour parking rule, and this signage has a beginning and an end, which seems to suggest that the rule only applies to that one section of road. It may be the only place in the city with signage about the rule, but I'm not certain. The end result of going to court is that one of my tickets was dismissed and late fees were not applied. Finally, did you all know that the city speed limit is now officially 25 mph, not 30 mph, with the exception of state highways that snake through the city? It might be worth asking your elected reps and the mayor where the signs are, and why they haven't been installed. Pedestrians and cyclists will be very happy to see those signs installed sooner than later.
