These signs are posted on the right hand side of the street on the 500 block of East St. Catherine.  Neighbors are scrambling and fighting to park on the left hand side of the street in the evenings.  I called Metrocall about this, and they gave me the run-around.  1st they said thats the signs are there because of TARC.  I called TARC and they said there are no bus stops on that block, and they don't know why the signs are there.  Then I called Metrocall again and told them, they called me back saying that the signs are there because of the I65 ramp.  The I65 ramp is blocks away on the 500 block of WEST  St. Catherine.  They inspected the wrong block!  Now, I guess they have labeled me a quack, and won't respond to my emails and told me on the phone that they will see about it.  Its been several weeks since I've heard anything.  I don't beleive I will.  Meanwhile, there are 3 new homes being built on this block, and when they become occupied, it going to get a lot worse. 

 

I even Emailed Tandy, who I voted for and respect.  Two weeks later, nothing.  What else can I do.  People are getting tickets every morning at 7:00 AM like clockwork.  There are still 2 very usable lanes for traffic if people park on both sides of the street.  What in the heck can we do?

OK I got a call from them yesterday.  They also admitted they my block was not inspected when they said they did.  It hasn't been inspected for 10 years. They are going to send an inspector out to monitor the traffic in mornings and in the evenings.  Why in the evenings?  I have no idea.  But compared to the traffic on Oak, where you can park where you want, we should have those signs down in no time.  I think this will be a prime example as to wether or not metrocall and Tandy really care about us or just there for a paycheck.
