Parking on a sidewalk is a violation of many rules and norms, but the one that matters the most to me is that people in wheelchairs cannot maneuver around these. I tried reporting some in my local neighborhood via 311 but it's pretty much useless (I'm fairly confident the car was an unmarked cop car anyway).
I have yelled (successfully) at ebike riders that go on the sidewalk; they ended up apologizing to me even though I speak no Spanish and they spoke little English. There are tons of kids in my neighborhood and it takes a village etc.
- tombert 3y agoYeah, I don't have a wheelchair, but I do occasionally have one of those fold-up shopping carts that I use for getting groceries. When cars are parked on the sidewalk, it makes it extremely difficult to do anything, because there's not a ton of twisting I can do to maneuver around them. I often have to awkwardly lift the cart to put on the street, and then lift it again to put it back on the sidewalk. I hadn't even considered how bad it would be for people in wheelchairs.
