Parking in Boston is just gonna get harder for scooters & motorcycles
People are bitching about vehicles on sidewalks, including mopeds etc.
He was ticketing a bike in a spot I used to park in allll the time so I went over & struck up a conversation... Told him I used to park there all the time and got out of the few tickets I got because it was technically on private property and not a sidewalk...
Well, he asked me when that was, I told him a couple years ago. He told me about 5 months ago the city of Boston changed the laws... now, if you have to operate your motorcycle on a sidewalk in order to get to the private property you can still get cited with a 45 dollar ticket
His only advice was to COVER THE MOTORCYCLE as they're told not to remove a cover unless the vehicle is parked in a dangerous manner or just blatantly illegally (on a wheelchair ramp or something)
I talked to him briefly about the whole "big picture" of parking in Boston, the usual "Boston is in a parking crisis & motorcycles take some of that burdon off", blah blah blah... He understood it all but said he doesn't see things changing for quite some time
... All I've got to say about it is THANK GOD I don't have to deal w/ it.
