It's incredibly illegal, and it needs to be stopped, money or no money, as Paul said.Christopher Barzakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317256912942472481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24427664.post-63033157928042507652011-07-22T20:15:56.301+02:002011-07-22T20:15:56.301+02:00I definitely would be in favor of a YPD officer be...I definitely would be in favor of a YPD officer being stationed around 20 Federal Place M-F day hours for a short period. I have seen the call center workers' rides double-parking and blocking the regular flow of traffic. I have had to either wait unnecessarily or risk head-on collision to get down the street on numerous occasions because they block the road. Station YPD there for a few days and have them issue some citations. A few citations and they would get the message.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24427664.post-77279430182821583902011-07-22T14:35:19.066+02:002011-07-22T14:35:19.066+02:00Who cares if it makes them money.

It would potentially prevent a future accident and could save a life. Regarding the cigarette butts/littering/panhandling/open container portion, discouraging these activities will likely increase attendance, and therefore revenue, at downtown establishments. Is there money to be made? Sure, but not by the police department.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265163124211584817noreply@blogger.com
