Traffic Enforcement - Issue #5191952 - Neighborhood 9, Cambridge, MA - SeeClickFix - Web and Mobile Government 311 - Neighbors

Neighbors,
Perhaps many of you are not aware of SeeClickFix. Usually it is very effective, but below is a case in which the response just makes no sense.

SeeClickFix is an app that lets you take a picture and report a problem to the city.  It then gets routed to the proper authority. You have to sign up to be able to follow issues or comment.   https://seeclickfix.com/pages/311-app

In this case the agency to which it has been reported does not seem to care about us, our neighborhood, or enforcing the law (which I for one see as the reason they have that job).

None of us will be able to park near our homes if such scofflaws are simply ignored.  Please let the city know this neighborhood does care- and we want the law enforced, and that official reminded of the responsibilities of the job he holds.
I am concerned about this response and think we should all be. If you are not on SeeClickFix you can report your concern that we take such parking sofflaws seriously to:
Traffic, Parking & Transportation Department
·         344 Broadway

·         Cambridge MA 02139

·         Phone: 617-349-4700

Be sure to cite SeeClickFix ID #5191952

There are other cars like this one parked in the neighborhood.  Report them too. If they hear from a lot of us, perhaps they will take us seriously.

Thanks,

Ruth

Please do enforce the law. Otherwise our residents will have no room to park, as it is clear that there is no enforcement.

Thank you for reaching out to the Department of Traffic, Parking & Transportation. Your report has been forwarded to our Parking Enforcement Division. Officers will be specifically checking this location, in addition to their regular patrols through the area.

If this issue persists, you call TP&T directly at 617-349-4700, and we will send someone to ticket the vehicle as appropriate.

Hi traffic admin- I have called tp&t and was told I was the only one who took issue with all the non permit parkers on Cambridge Terrace. They’re out of state cars who have been parking for almost a year with a visitor pass everyday. I am beyond frustrated with your lack of action.
