In our neighborhood the "pavements" go right to the edge of the street, although there are occasional square or rectangular openings for street trees. (No real grass in them, though -- just weeds.)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-84342046669230945992022-05-06T20:22:02.643+01:002022-05-06T20:22:02.643+01:00We so identify with your pain.

It might not suit a leafy suburb of England but it certainly changed neighbourhoods where he lives.

I'm pleased to see that the new tree has been planted, and supported, properly - often they are planted with just one thin stake and a plastic tie for support.<br />Look forward to seeing a photo when the tree flowers - as it matures it should be quite spectacular.<br />Will anything stop determined parking?<br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-37107271921085723612022-05-06T08:23:37.280+01:002022-05-06T08:23:37.280+01:00Too many people own too many cars.

And most of the time, those cars are not taking their owners from A to B, but just stand around, taking up precious space that would be put to much better use covered in plants.<br />In my town, we now have parking fees in most residential areas. The council wants to make people use those garages and drives they have the way they were intended for, instead of filling them with clutter they take out once a year (if ever).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-56155936682127203242022-05-06T07:26:02.860+01:002022-05-06T07:26:02.860+01:00How much blood did it take to write that sign?

We also have a higher curb so cars don't pull up on the grass. Sometimes they only allow parking on one side if the street is narrow.

I was looking at signs to make sure it was legal to park there and the sidewall of my tire rubbed the curb. Only this curb was made from stones and the one I rubbed against had a really sharp point on it that cut into the sidewall and flattened my tire. <br /> <br />I think you get why I am telling you this anecdotal story.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.com
