It Doesn't Matter Much, Does It?

 

Either Monday or yesterday, DPW finally repainted -- for the third time in less than two years -- the 17 feet of curb on State at 7th that had been nearly completely missing its yellow paint for the past 8 months, allowing cars to be parked too close to the intersection and making it dangerous for others.  Very dangerous for others.  Yellow curb or not, it doesn't seem to matter, particularly in an area where parking can be difficult to come by for patrons of new businesses and, soon enough, for tenants of the hideous monstrosity with virtually no off-street parking that is Galvan's unwelcome, swanky apartment building gift to Hudson.


Today, 12 minutes after taking the pictures of the illegally and dangerously parked black SUV along the new yellow curb, the driver returned to their Chevy and fled the scene.

Yesterday, with fresh sprayed-on paint. 
 How long will this attempt last?
(Not real pretty, is it? Was someone in a rush?)

Two weeks ago, with no yellow curb 

Today on North 3rd at the bodega 

Who is part of the problem?

"It'll just take me a minute! 
What can they do, write me a
parking ticket?"
