Nothing has been done to remove the offending truck, trailer, and assorted pieces of construction equipment (back hoe, and JLG lift on trailer) since first I raised this issue. That being the case, of course you cannot close this issue.

To date, over four years, with that equipment being stored illegally alongside the road for say 210 days a year, the town has lost $67,200 in parking ticket receipts due to their not ticketing the illegally parked equipment.

It's not "selective enforcement of the law" it's "preferential treatment" for select scoff laws. Change the ordinance so EVERYONE can park illegally on Bridges Drive, or better? enforce the existing ordinance.

Preferential parking continues to be permitted for one member of our business community. It's been going on for over FOUR YEARS. Until it stops, this item should remain open as still needing to be resolved such that enforcement of parking on the right of way on Bridges Drive receives the same attention as parking on the right of way at Scarborough Beach and Nonesuch River Brewing receives. How the police can see the problem at the other two locations and not on Bridges drive is beyond my comprehension??? I fail to see the difference other than one business receiving PREFERENTIAL treatment.

Snow plows have kept the equipment off the road for the duration of the winter. To date, equipment is still off the road but I am unaware of any action taken by the town that resulted in its absence or ensuring it will not be allowed to return. Have the relevant town officials taken any action? What’s happening with the town’s objective of improving their communication with the citizenry?

As envisioned, the parking problem on Bridges drive has gotten worse. Recently the contractor has been storing a NON REGISTERED vehicle across the street from his place of business on someone else’s property and also ion the town’s right of way. Now? we have a back hoe, that’s not on a trailer that we have to worry about hitting if we were to stray off the road. My guess? in case of an accident, the back hoe would win. Too, it’s typical when equipment is parked alongside a road to display triangular reflectors that at least warn passing motorists of the hazard presented by the equipment to the motorist. Nice to know that common sense would have solved this problem years ago, but here we are in the FIFTH year and on and on and on and on it goes. Selective enforcement? or preferential treatment? My bet? if I had my brother in law drop a trailer in the same location it’d be ticketed when it first appeared there. For breaking the law? Nope, because it would be infringing on the “”rights”” of the current offender that’s being shown “”selective enforcement”” (preferential treatment where I come from).

Over the years the big Orange truck has either rotted away, or been traded in for the new white truck that’s replaced it. Preferential treatment of a scoff law continues with no end in sight.. too, now we have the rusty old yellow trailer periodically showing up with pallets of white “stuff” on them. I continue to hope that the executive branch of our town government (police force) will enforce the laws passed by our duly elected legislators (town council), but than again? I’ve always been an optimist, even after these four years.
