Despite Parking Boots, Cars Driving Off

The boots are placed on cars with at least three parking tickets that are at least 30 days delinquent.

Two times in the last nine days in North Baltimroe, residents have driven off in cars the city placed parking boots on—taking the boot with them.  One boot was placed on a car in the 3300 block of Falls Road on Jan. 21. When a Department of Transportation employee came back to check on the boot two days later, the car and the boot were gone. On Jan. 24 the city placed a boot on a car in the 2600 block of Maryland Avenue, but when the city came back to tow the vehicle, the boot and the vehicle were gone.   The boots each cost $500 and are placed on a vehicle if it has at least three parking tickets that are at least 30 days delinquent, according to Adrienne Barnes, a spokeswoman for the Department of Transportation.  In an email, she said …

You Tell Us: Can Bikes and Cars Coexist?

Patch gives readers a chance to sound off on issues impacting the city each week

The city is in the process of a tri-annual bike count that helps the Department of Transportation determine who, where and when cyclists are using city streets. The idea is in part to help provide infrastructure to make urban cycling safer and encourage it with amenities such as placing bike racks where they are needed the most. But since the last trolley stopped rolling in Baltimore, the automobile has dominated the city. Many motorists aren’t shy about expressing their dislike of sharing the road with cyclists, and are quick to point out they feel residents riding bikes ignore the rules of the road. So, what do you think is needed in the city so that motorists and cyclists can co-exist on Charm City streets? Tell us in the comments.

And I am not talking about a little kid on a sidewalk, but full grown adults in "safety gear". Yet they are asking cars to "share the road".   more ›
