The police should ticket the illegal parkers. If people didn't break the law, we wouldn't need the police department. How about a little personal responsibility? yaboy22 - the more the JPD takes in from law breakers, the less us law abiding tax payers need to pay in. I do like the idea of alternate parking. I don't need it, but the current idea was made for a small city, which we are no longer.

Would it be too large a burden to have alternate-side parking for snow days? There aren't enough places to park if you don't have a driveway. Other cities are successful with altenate-side parking in snow emergencies. What's the difference in Janesville?
