“I would like to appeal for the parking ticket I received on 4/06/23 for $75. I was working when I received the ticket. I do Doordash food delivery and I was notified that the customer’s order was ready for pickup at Greenology in New Canaan. When I got there I could not find any available parking spots. Originally I parked in a spot when the parking enforcement guy came up next to me and told me I couldn’t park there and I explained that I was picking up something from Greenology.
