Read moreI was the victim of a mass motorhome roundup in 1700 S between Redwood Rd. and 900 W. I was not at home a the time or they would not have been able to tow me. The cops and the parking ordinance folks came through and just towed anything and everything parked on the street, giving little account to the fact that this was my home and everything inside was all that I own. I am a disabled Navy veteran and have parked my coach in the same spot since way last spring. I had to track down the towing company tht stole my home and left me completely without funds to retrieve it from the impound lot. The bill is growing daily and I don't have the money to get it out. What am I supposed to do? I've been wearing the same set of clothes for a solid week now. I have no where to sleep except in my car; I have no food except what is inside my home. I reached out to the mayor, Erin Mendenhall, by email requesting funds to get my home out of impound. I was not doing anything wrong, I have never received a citation or even a warning that I was in violation of any parking rules. For them to just come in in one mass sweep and haul my home away with no forewarning is unconscionable and am livid over the blatant insensitivity this mayor has shown, and offering no recourse. It's not fair; it's reprehensiblew, and if I can find an attorney who will take my case pro bono I wilol sue the city of Salt Lake right into the history books. I have lost all respect for Mayor Mendenhall and the cops. This should not have happened. Folks, think twice before you decide to visit here and spend your money in a venue that treats their service...
Read moreParking tickets are a scam! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Parking enforcement officer says if I don’t like it I can go to a hearing. At the hearing they tell me the officer could have given a warning or a ticket and since I got a ticket there’s nothing they can do. So what’s the point of the hearing? They said I could sue the city if I needed another hearing, or felt the hearing was unfair. Pay $50 to fight for $40? Could you give me a real option??! Then as I’m paying they say is it fine if we add on 2.75% for the credit card charge …as though they care about my money, or how it’s spent. Government overreach! At liberty park 3 cars side by side in neighboring parking spots got tickets for taking up two spaces each. How can we be taking up only 3 spots and still taking up 2 spots each meaning 6 spots at the same time. If Salt Lake City made 3 spots 6 spots there wouldn’t be a parking problem in liberty park. They made $120! Off 3 cars in 3 spots by calling it 6.government over reach and a money...
