Show me the signs

Dear Editor:
The Municipal Court of Union City has it all worked out. Place their parking signs indicating street sweeping restrictions in just one spot on the street, at the very end of a long street, so that when visitors from out of the area park at the top end of the street, they would have no way of knowing the restrictions without walking the entire length of the street! After receiving a $35 ticket, calling the court, and being told to write to the prosecutor to appeal, the appeal was then denied.
All this, despite sending them very clear photos showing no signs anywhere in view, or within a reasonable walking distance. They said pay the fine or go to court. Not worth 5 hours of my time to fight this! That’s exactly what they are counting on. Very disgusted with Union City taking advantage of visit ors this way.
