Editor:
I went to see a friend last week on quiet 16A Avenue, two blocks south of Bayridge Elementary.
Because the street seemed too narrow for two cars to pass if I was parked, I moved as far as I could to the curb, and my tires were actually one tire width on the sidewalk.
When I came out of the house, I had a parking ticket – $21 if paid within seven days, and $35 after that – from the City of Surrey.
Surely the bylaw officer has better things to do than spot a car inches on the sidewalk. This is a quiet residential area; who would have thought that for this I get a ticket?
