Time is ticking away...

So April (March 31st, actually) has brought us yet another "duh" notice with regard to parking. Signs have been posted informing all comers that visitor parking passes expire at midnight of the expiration date. This is common sense, I would think, but someone must have complained or else there wouldn't have been a notice.

What is not common sense, though, is the entire visitor parking pass policy. It is outrageous and insulting that Lowell Sun employees are allowed to park with impunity and yet 305 Dutton Street residents (and their visitors) are forced to jump through hoops to get a parking pass that mercifully removes the threat of towing.

There ought to be a consistent towing policy in place. If there is going to be a refusal to stop dating visitor parking passes, then there should simply be no towing Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM through 6:00 PM, which is when Lowell Sun employees are "allowed to" park in our lot. Even this time-frame is a joke, since it is repeatedly flaunted by Sun employees arriving early and staying late. Additionally, I saw at least one Sun employee vehicle in our lot this past Saturday. Again I ask: where is the towing?!?
