62 Tonnelle/ MABA Meeting
11:00 A.M.
Pictures from this morning's activities on Magnolia Avenue are shown above. At 10:30 a.m. I received a call from Don indicating that Tito's vehicle was illegally parked in the lot. Upon reviewing the site with P.O. Buska we discovered that Tito's vehicle was not there. Following our review of the lot P.O. Buska and I attended the monthly MABA meeting where I updated the group on this past week's efforts regarding 62 Tonnelle and our attempt to stop illegal parking from taking place on the property. P.O. Buska shared with the group his thoughts on the matter and explained the process for removing illegal parkers. He did an excellent job.
6:30 P.M.
At 6:30 p.m. this evening P.O. Buska and I discovered that Tito had parked his car in the lot behind 62 Tonnelle. Upon seeing this I called the property owner to inform her that she had an illegal parker and I asked for her permission to call a tow company and have it taken away. She authorized the use of a tow and I proceeded to call Tito to inform him that a tow truck would be removing his car if he did not remove it. Within 5 minutes Tito appeared on the scene to remove his car and Officer Buska and I were there to greet him. Officer Buska indicated to Tito in the strongest terms possible that he was violating the law by parking in the lot without permission. Tito indicated that he would no longer park there and proceeded to move his car out of the lot. A ticket was issued citing the car's owner for illegal parking.
