By |

Ticketed motorists recently field the following appeals letters for adjudication by the New Canaan Parking Commission. ***

“I am a college student and was so excited to have my first haircut since the covid-19 pandemic began. I arrived at my appointment early with anticipation and, as instructed, waited in my car on Burtis Avenue until my stylist was ready for me to enter her one studio salon. I was very mindful of my time and even set my watch to insure I did not go over the allotted time. Just as I was paying for my services and exiting the salon I saw the Parking Meter Attendant put the ticket on my car.

‘I Was Running Late To Make a Fitness Class’: Parking Ticket Appeals

By |

Ticketed motorists recently filed the following appeals to the New Canaan Parking Bureau:

***

“I was a volunteer for the rehearsal at Saxe Middle School while I got the ticket. I parked behind a fire zone and blocked a hydrant unfortunately. I’m an au pair and actually from Germany, so we don’t have hydrants in front of buildings or on streets, they are under the ground. I never learned something about hydrants in my German driving school and it wasn’t necessary to visit a driving school here in CT. I didn’t know about the rules and that isn’t allowed to park next to a hydrant.

Here are excerpts from appeals filed with the New Canaan Parking Bureau by ticketed motorists:

“First off I want to apologize for parking on a crosswalk. I work as an uber delivery driver & finding parking close to restaurants can sometimes be difficult. So I parked right in front of restaurant, but I was literally in there for one minute. I was in and out but the lady gave me a ticket anyways. I know I was wrong but if you can please give me another chance! I will never obstruct a crosswalk again.
