RE: The Dead Horse‏

Larry, I was unaware you had taken over the Lisbon Reporter blog - thank you for keeping it going and please keep up the good work.

That being said, please feel free to post my email, your response and this reply.

I understand your concerns however the primary vehicle in question is normally parked off of the street in the yard. While I am sure the neighbors may consider that an eye sore for the area, it is not a parking violation. There may be a zoneing issue but that is a different topic.

If there are vehicles regularly blowing through the stop sign then Lisbon PD should be monitoring the intersection more frequently, but with an average of two vehicles on the road, they have alot of area to cover. I woudl suggest the neignbors attempt to nail down a time whan the majority of the infractions occur and be more specific in thier request to Chief Brooks. Alternately they can call in every time they observe the violation and their complaints should be logged by the dispatcher. If its properly documented and ont he record they can't ignore it forever.

As for the section you reference, you are incomplete in your reference, both 50-71 and 50-72 relate to specific streets as noted in the section, not to all streets. The only parking ban that effects all streets is section 50-45, Winter Parking. Again I empathize with your concerns but unless there is something in black and white saying the trucks can’t be there, there is nothing to enforce.
