Sorry about your back. Definitely not ...Curmudgeon,<br />Sorry about your back. Definitely not fun. Here's a bit of good news that I did not see until after I left for work this morning. According to this <a href="http://hillrag.com/2018/03/07/allen-gets-residents-relief-from-marathon-parking-restrictions" rel="nofollow">Hill Rag article</a> Charles Allen was able to get some of the parking restrictions lifted. The article, published March 7th, says MPD has agreed that they "will not ticket and tow cars parked in residential blocks on Capitol Hill." You'll still have to move your car if it's on a commercial street. Police also <i>recommend</i> moving your car if it's on a residential street too, but based on the info from the Hill Rag MPD it sounds like MPD won't do anything about it if you opt to ignore the suggestion. I don't see the special carve-out mentioned in this <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/03/08/rock-n-roll-marathon-to-impact-traffic-saturday/?utm_term=.edc0384a4d47" rel="nofollow">Washington Post article</a> published today which quotes a March 5th <a href="https://mpdc.dc.gov/release/traffic-advisory-2018-rock-%E2%80%98n%E2%80%99-roll-marathon" rel="nofollow">MPD press release</a> that says "The public should expect parking restrictions along the entire marathon route and should be guided by the posted emergency no parking signage. The public should also expect enforcement of these parking restrictions which may include ticketing and towing along the entire marathon route." So maybe just tread...er...park carefully, especially if you don't live on Capitol Hill and within Allen's Ward 6.inkedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350787243002946647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-35483055608409383872018-03-08T22:04:59.554-05:002018-03-08T22:04:59.554-05:008:17,

So on Friday, I'm going to have to burn leave I really can't afford to use (again, because of all the leave I've unexpectedly had to use because of the back issue), to return home from work early enough to be able to park near my house, given all the additional people that'll be trying to park there because of the new parking restrictions along the route.<br /><br />I loved these events 10 years ago; but each year they get to be more and more of a drag.<br /><br />curmudgeonnoreply@blogger.com
