I am sure there are hundreds of cars in Malden that park on the street that have driveways. Sometimes people have to save their driveways for elderly parents, visiting nurses or other important reasons. As a homeowner paying huge taxes we should have the right to park anywhere we want. But the law is the law. The only way people are going to get tickets for this violation is through Clickfix where neighbors complain about neighbors. It is impossible to check thousands of cars in the city that park on every street to see where they belong.

You are correct, the friendly reminder did not work the way that we had hoped. We will start enforcing in a more traditional way beginning this evening.

This message is to that busy body that has nothing else to do but complain about my Mercedes i front of my home. I am a Malden Tax Payer! If you have anything to say knock on my door & don’t be a coward. My car is moved every morning between 4:30am - 4:45am. Why don’t you try someone else to aggravate since you have nothing else to do. I am not a coward my name is Mrs. Summers. Why don’t you leave yours??

Clickfix is turning into a war zone. It reminds me of when the Malden Observer years ago had the column
“ Speak Out “ where neighbors trashed each other. It got so bad that the Column was discontinued. That’s where this is heading. I am sure the parking tickets are way up in Malden thanks to Clickfix.

If people like you could mind there own business we would not be in a “WAR ZONE’!!

Sorry Mrs Summers I am not the one who complained about your Mercedes. I just voice my opinion occasionally on here. Have a very Happy Holiday.

It’s all of the tax payers business when someone breaks the rules (Cheats). Being a bully will not change the fact that you are getting away with breaking the rules.

Is there a rule stating that if your house has a driveway, you "have to" use it? Can someone clarify for me what is the specific (wording of the) rule being referenced? Im just asking as i didn't know this was actually a thing. How would it be enforced? How can officials tell if a car should be in a specific driveway as opposed to properly parked on the street? Thank you in advance for replies.

The only way they are going to know is when someone complains on Clickfix. If you don’t like your neighbor it’s a sneaky way to get back at them. Way too many vehicles in Malden to try to check everyone’s car. I wonder if legally someone could even challenge that law. Why should I move my car off a public street so you can park there? It would be an interesting court case. Maybe even a violation of ones rights. I read in the Malden Advocate paper that they are looking now at winter snow rules. Have to make a 42 inch path on your sidewalk instead of a 36 inch path. So are all the enforcers going to carry tape measures with them ? One inch short you gong to get a ticket? Malden is going a little too far. Focus on fixing the horrible condition of our roads and sidewalks and leave the homeowners who pay your salaries alone !!

42 inch path for snow or you get fined but the mayor and other city officials have no problem with these bike share bikes completely blocking sidewalks. Dosen't sound right to me someone in power must be benefiting from them

Just heard that the pilot program for bikes ending this week. All bikes being picked up. I wonder how we can have any input on their final decision if they are continuing program.

We have a drive way that can fit two cars. I don’t have a car but if I did we would be screwed because my husband has a work truck and commercial vehicles can’t park on street at night either. I get if there is snow and parking and street space was limited but really how was this woman’s car causing an issue right now? What if she worked an overnight abdvher spouse works a day shift or vice versa and they don’t want to block the other in?

We live on a busy street which is s nightmare in the morning and evening and there have been times we’ve had to take our son or a parent to an early morning appointment and can’t deal with musical cars since it’s a battle just to get one car out of the driveway, so we park illegally on the street avd pay the ticket.

Again in bad weather or once the snow falls I’m all for if you have a drive way use it. Also if it’s causing you an issue because you can’t fibd a space, they talking to your neighbor instead of reporting her. Good friendly beighbor relation are good for the community; there was a story on the news the other day how a neighbor helped catch a package theft. Make an enemy of a neighbor and they are probably just going to sit back and go well that sucks for them.

Well said Heidi. Seems the only party making out on this is the Parkng Enforcement. It’s getting out of hand. It’s like Parking Enforcement has hundreds of eyes out there watching for where they should go. Let them find their own cars to ticket.

The traffic commission will revisit this regulation before the start of next winter.
