The City actually responded quickly and I had a call the following week. I was told that while it was highly unusual, they would put a “no parking” sign in the location that I suggested for consistency’s sake.
2 days later, there was the sign. Can’t miss it.
So the jackass parked further up past the houses on the curve of the road instead. I don’t think that some people realize about the rules of parking in cul de sacs. (yes, I called and they got a ticket.)
I live in a cul de sac that has “No Parking” signs on the right hand side of the road. I live at the bottom of the cul de sac. On the light post in the pic, there is a No Parking sign that indicates not on the right side. Lately, my neighbors and I have became regular users of the city’s bylaw parking enforcement line. We call to report cars that are parked in circled area, thus blocking us. Yes we could pass through but at times, the clearance is like a fingernail’s width on either side, so I would rather not. We have had missed garbage pick up, etc because of jackasses who are either ignorant or lazy. What’s worse is that sometimes it is the neighbor that lives there who does this. Their driveway is full of cars, so rather than parking further up the road where it widens (although it is still illegal/ticketable offence), they park in the circled area. 
So today, I decided that I should call & email the city and ask if there they would put a sign there… where the rejected exercise bike is located.. so that it is clear and OBVIOUS that one should not park there, thus incuring the wrath of at least the 4 of us who get stuck at that end.
We will see if anything comes of this request.
