 Parking enforcement has reportedly taken several vehicles parked long-term off the streets in 16th Street Heights in the district, and a number of cars with thousands of dollars of tickets have been towed. The Department of Public Works encourages residents who see cars stashed long-term under tarps occupying valuable parking spaces, these are my words and not theirs, to submit 311 requests for action if they see a vehicle in violation of the city's parking laws.
