Parking Archived264 Valley St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandAll day parking by non-residents is starting to get a little ridiculous again. It seems less than half of the cars in time limited spots on Gilman St and Valley St have residential parking permits. Many of these cars seem to come and park all day daily - likely MMC employees that for whatever reason don't want to park in their massive garage. Odd/even weeks are quickly approaching so please resume enforcement of this residential zones ASAP.

Parking Archived16 Gilman St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandNumerous MMC employees without resident stickers continue to park in this neighborhood and stay for the entire day instead of parking in their garage. This is especially problematic on Gilman St as a large number of parking spots have been lost to construction. Valley Street and A Street are also frequently utilized.

Trash/Recycling Archived10 A St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandRecycling was not picked up this week. I called in yesterday and was advised to leave my recycling out. I can see that much of A St, Valley St, and Gilman St also still have their recycling bins out. Should we continue to leave them out?

Car Parked for Hours in No Parking Archived8 A St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandThere is a black Nissan SUV that has been parked for hours on the corner of A St. and Gilman St. in a spot that is explicitly marked as No Parking. This spot is especially troublesome with all of the construction on Gilman St that is necessating the directing of lots of extra traffic down A St. This location blocks the view of people trying to turn which is likely why it is a No Parking area.

Recycling Not Collected or Missed Archived10 A St Portland, ME 04102, USA - PortlandRecycling not collected in the morning for the 2nd week in a row. I called last week and someone came by in the morning to get it. I called again this morning but as of around 3:30PM it appears that no one has come back. Am I allowed to leave the bin out until it's collected or do I need to coordinate on when to put it out? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Recycling also left many large broken down cardboard boxes in our recycling bin which is leaving it essentially full heading into next week.

Parking Archived12 A St Portland, Maine - PortlandThere are many "regular" all day parkers using the newly time restricted spots along Valley Street and A Street. Maybe some type of written warning would be helpful in case they haven't noticed the new signs yet? I count over a half-dozen so far this morning.
