Parking Violations at Fair Diddley

Parking Violations at Fair Diddley

Why do you suppose this truck was allowed to park on Jackson at Throop this morning, as Fair Diddley got underway?

Apparently, it belonged to the vendor who had the first sales stall behind the truck. Even though Jackson Street was closed into the Square, the driver should have been required to re-locate the truck to a legal parking spot.

Pedestrians on Throop were forced into the street to walk around the front of the truck, placing them at unnecessary risk. Certainly, the City wants to be cooperative with merchants bringing their wares to Fair Diddley. But should the City close its eyes to violations like this? The vendors must be cooperative with the City, too.

Next year's instructions to merchants should include a message that they are expected to comply with all traffic laws and to park their vehicles in legal parking places only.
