Parking in Waterloo Region

[Pheidippides]

Problem lies in the fact a couple of officers can't cover 100% of the city at one time, and need to rely on "tips".  If you have a cell phone, call the city's contact centre from the bus and let them know!

I've thought about doing that, but when it is a delivery truck (UPS, FedEx, CanPar, Canada Post, etc.) or armoured car what are the chances an over-worked by-law officer is going to get there before it moves along? It doesn't take much to set of a cascade across the network that can get a long time to clear.

Before the Ion construction began there was a delivery truck (Dicom I think) that had a 5pm pick-up Monday to Friday at the HSBC at King and William in Waterloo and would take the entire WB lane and a bit of the sidewalk on William right in front of Marbles instead of using the HSBC parking lot, or the parking spots on King, or the little 'L' part of King across the street from Marbles that goes around the parkette, or the laneway beside Marbles. Made it tricky to pass no matter the mode. I was tempted to call then because it was at least predictable.
