We don't have enough parking!! You have to be home by 9:30pm or you're screwed!
Next to my apartment there are some houses and there's an access road that curves away. The road goes through some undeveloped fields and leads to a big church surrounded by nothing in particular.
- The houses have landscape features which shield them from the road.
- The road is wide.
- Traffic is nonexistent.
- We are an upper middle class apartment complex (no minorities, drugs, crime or ghetto anything)
We used to be able to park there as a last resort when the parking lot fills up each night. Usually about 5-6 cars would park there on a busy night.
Recently the city made the entire road no parking. This targets us and only us. There's nothing else here.
What can I do to reverse this? I'm willing to do anything (attend city council meetings, file a motion, paperwork, circulate a petition.) What can I do?

You can investigate to see who authorized those signs under what ordinance. And see who made the decision.
that would be a first step.
It might be that the signs were put up by the apartment complex management because "appearances"
It might be that the signs are actually illegal.
Lots of work, worth investigating.

Thanks, it hadn't occurred to me they might be placed illegally. It's a definite possibility though.

yes, they might not be city signs at all, and I am sure there are regulations governing the placement of such signs.
check your local bylaws.
