So, exactly which part of "No Parking Here Any Time" don't people understand? It totally confounds me every time I go into the Southgate parking lot and see cars parked on double yellow lines in front of stores, blocking entry or exit to the spots that are clearly marked. The parking lot across from John Burns Park is equally dangerous. What is that makes some people feel "the rules don't apply to me?" If everyone would park in a marked spot, leave the handicapped parking for those who need it, and pay attention when pulling in and out of these parking lots, there would be many less fender-benders and perhaps a little more smiling at our neighbors. Maybe we could all give it a try for the new year!
