And Greg, I've thought about this myself!

>This whole situation is ridiculous. Our cars are being destroyed by the condition of our local roads due to this ongoing construction yet we are taxed like crazy with this absurd car excise tax (not to mention our property taxes). I'm yelled at by construction workers on an almost daily basis, we can't get into our driveway because of the piping systems they have set up at the end of our drive and I'm told by cops I can't go drive my own street. I've absolutely had it. But what do we do about it? Call City Hall? I spent one of my days off doing that (I called Providence Water, City Hall, Providence Utilities, etc) and the response was laughable.

After having been rudely awakened by a cop banging on my door at 7:30 in the morning on Veteran's Day by a cop informing us that we had to move our cars to Highland for the day--due not only to the fact that construction would be occupying the street, but also to the fact that our driveway was the designated staging area for surveying equipment, spare pipes, and castoff construction worker clothes--I elected to leave my car on Highland overnight (with my duly purchased overnight parking sticker). Today, while my driveway was occupied for the entire day by an asphalt rolling truck that the construction crew elected to park there, I received a parking ticket for overtime parking. Of course the ticket offers the option to plead not guilty, but I really don't have time to go contest a ticket I received because construction workers and cops constructively evicted me from my own driveway. Just
 thought I'd share.
