One thing that makes this city feel hostile and unfriendly to motorcyclists is the arbitrary enforcement of sidewalk parking rules. A non-enforcement policy most of the time, that is suddenly acted upon on one street, but not the next, to the tune of $100 feels very unjust. Also, with street parking at a premium, a safely parked motorcycle on a wide sidewalk saves badly needed room for cars, and protects the motorcycle from damage. I suggest rules be adopted to allow for very specific types of sidewalk parking, in very specific places. failing that, I suggest a warning system. vehicles that are ticketed based on a single complaint, but otherwise would not be ticketed, should receive a warning, with a polite explanation attached–most sidewalk parkers in the sunset and Richmond are only trying to protect their equipment and save parking space for cars, and don’t deserve a harshly worded and very expensive $100 fine.
