rosenberg's letter (revised)
DESCRIPTION
An enhanced version of Rosenberg's letter to the Brookline police department.TRANSCRIPT
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to you in response to parking ticket number 4559475, which I received on Au-
gust 21, 2011 for parking overnight on the residential side (as opposed to the Downes
Field side) of Highland Road, next to house number 29. The violation code listed on the
ticket is 21: On Street Overnight Violation (Over 1 Hour Between 2am-6am). I
have attached a copy of this ticket for your convenience.
I am a resident of Connecticut, and was in Brookline to visit my friend, who lives on High-
land Road. As a non-resident of Brookline and the state of Massachusetts, I am unfamiliar
with the overnight parking laws of the area and, therefore, had to rely on the street signs
on the road. Unfortunately, the street signs on Highland Road are not only sparse but also
extremely unclear. The only street sign I saw was on the Downes Field side of the road,
and read, “No Parking This Side.” In addition to implying that parking is allowed on the
residential side, the sign made no mention of when parking is and is not available and,
therefore, led me to believe that parking is allowed on the residential side of the street 24
hours a day.
Based on the lack of clear communication of the parking laws of the road, as demon-
strated above, I respectfully request that the assessed fine be waived. I also invite you to
check out what my bros had to say about this situation.
Regards,
Colin Rosenberg
