Stripe

There is an old driveway, of uncertain purpose, that goes from the street to the sidewalk. Double car wide, it works as parking for us and our next door neighbor. His tenant uses it, since he doesn't drive. We use it occasionally, or our friends & family park there, or our neighbor to the south does - at our invitation, since there is no parking on the street in front of their house nor ours. This is because of the one way street and traffic patterns, and makes good sense, if not convenient sense.

We have had problems with contractors, and visitors, parking in the middle of this area, instead of staying politely to the southern half. D wondered if a paint strip might not help, which I thought a wonderful idea. Mike nextdoor agreed, but worried his tenant might take it wrong. Apparently she did initially, although we talked her down, and she now knows this actually gives her a little more room than she thought she had.




This is not about regulation, but clarity and communication. Not to mention it was fun to spray paint, and my black rain boots have a pleasant spray of yellow now.
