Construction didn’t affect parking rules
DEAR SUN SPOTS: We have just had our sidewalks moved on East Avenue. This has brought up some questions on parking. Is it still legal to park on the side of the road beyond the white line? We have been told that is a bicycle lane, but there is no notice of that and no […]
