This happens at all the schools! They park there cars in the road and sidewalks and make it unsafe for everybody! Call parking enforcement and tell them about it. They need to give out tickets and maybe people will learn.

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. I’ve initiated a Traffic Emphasis Request based on the information you provided so officers can pay special attention to that area when they are able. In general, officers only have the opportunity to focus on parking issues when there are no urgent calls pending, but they do what they can. Someone from our department will follow up with you in about 30 days to discuss the results of our efforts.

In the meantime, you may also want to contact Chris Hammer, the City’s Engineering Manager. He’s the person to start with if you are interested in pursuing long-term solutions such as revisions to road signage or other efforts. Perhaps there are permanent traffic solutions that are worth further consideration. Chris’s email is chammer@bainbridgewa.gov

Back to school this week and same problem. No police or parking enforcement anywhere, the cars are parked everywhere!
