Q & A From A Reader
I received an e-mail from a reader of this blog who raised some good points: Q: noticed that i didn’t know what you meant when you said ‘median’ and thought it was a grassy area or something. what is it? also the person you were on the phone with during the video didn’t know either - so may be more better dramatic thing to say is that he’s parking in the middle of...
Parking Violation
Today, about an hour ago, I went to my local Starbucks to get some coffee. There was a truck parked in the median lane that prevented me from exiting the driveway safely. I began videotaping it. After about 10 minutes, I realized that the driver was in the vehicle, so while the tape was rolling I went up to him and told him it was illegal to park in the median lane. He said he knew. I asked him...
E-Mail Exchange
The following is an e-mail exchange from a person named Freddie Nuno. His e-mail address indicates that he is probably a city worker or representative of the city. I have omitted the actual e-mail addresses in this exchange to protect both parties from spammers, however the body of e-mail messages are unedited. Please note: I am unsure from whose office Mr. Nuno represents because he failed to...
Open Letter To My Local Los Angeles City Council...
Dear Council Members Greuel and Cardenas, I am writing to you after over a year of calling to report to the LADOT Parking Violations offices about a repeat parking violations offender. The main issue is that the person(s) park a semitruck or a cube truck in the median lane of a residential district and leave it unattended for periods of up to an hour. In doing so, the vehicle obstructs free...

I assume the LADOT also has a record of these calls as well. The recorded message as I wait to be put through to an...

New Methods of Documentation
Recently I acquired a cellphone with a camera. I also acquired a video camera. So now, instead of calling the LADOT Parking Violations Department, this blog will serve instead as a record of these parking violations.

About this blog
For at least a year now there’s been a trucker (perhaps truckers) that’s been parking in the median lane in front of my house. S/he not only prevents me from making safe legal turns into my driveway, but also three other driveways are also blocked. The second time it happened, I attempted to go around the truck to enter my driveway and was nearly hit by on-coming traffic. I called the...
