Revised February 2011
March 18, 2014
I'm submitting a claim for the amount of$275 (ticket and tow) because I feel my vehicle was
wrongfully towed from Herschel Street,just north of the corner of Dayton Avenue and Herschel
Street. Parking is extremely limited since the parking ban on the even side of Dayton Ave. It's
common to have to park a block or two away from home if you arrive in the evening.
Herschel becomes a narrow one-way street south of the corner of Dayton and Herschel, and so
it is understandable that there is a parking ban on both sides of the street. However, north of
the corner, Herschel Street is a two-way and is much wider.This is where my car was towed.
For about 10 days after the parking ban began, there were no parking signs on both sides of
Herschel, north of Dayton. Then after about 10 days, I noticed that the no parking signs were
gone on the right hand side of Herschel, when facing north from the corner of Dayton. I figured
the city took down the no-parking signs on one side of Herschel after neighbors complained
about the lack of parking and how it didn't m ke sense to have both sides of the wide two-way
street off-limits to park, especially since you an park on one side of all the other two-way
streets of the same width in the area.The sig s were gone for at least two weeks, and the
street was consistently full of parked cars on the one side.
Then suddenly on the morning of Saturday March 15th, my car was gone. I thought it was
stolen, but the police said it had been towed. When I picked up my car at the impound lot, they
workers there said there had been several people who complained of the same thing, and were
going to dispute the ticket and tow. Immediately after I learned it was towed, I took pictures of
the block,to clearly show that there were no parking signs on one side of the street but not on
the other side where it was towed, and that there were many cars parked on that side because
it seemed logical that it was legal to park on that side.
I feel the City of Saint Paul's employees are responsible because they should have easily noticed
that there were no "no-parking" signs on the side of the block where they issued the ticket, at
the time they issued it and designated it to be towed. Especially with all the cars there,they
should have seen that there weren't any "no-parking" signs anywhere on that side of the block.
I also blame the City Employees for designating both sides of the two-way on Herschel to be
"no-parking" when parking is so scarce, and�he two-way street is clearly wide enough to have
emergency vehicles pass through even if cars are parked on one side. For these reasons, I'm
submitting a claim for the reimbursement of the ticket and tow, $275.
Thank you,
Eric Christopher, 1735 Dayton Avenue
