We had a problem at the intersection we live at. People were getting into accidents. Yet the City thought the best thing to do was to take away our parking in front of our house even though those of us near the intersection knew the problem was (a) speeders on Grove St and (b) people not stopping at the stop sign on Vale. I videotaped several hours of video and condensed one of the tapes to 6.5 mins of video to show the people not stopping at the stop sign. The result was a meeting with the City and it also turned out that the crash data statistics showed that all but one accident happened during business hours on weekdays when we were not parked out front of our house. Without the video I never would have had my chance to discuss the issue with the City and also would have lost our on street parking. http://www.alexandre.polozoff.com/ has a link to the video.
