What is it about certain drivers that causes them to think that this kind of parking is appropriate or considerate or wise or even legal?
This vehicle was parked in the 900 block of Clay Street on Monday. Will somebody clue me in on why the woman driver (yes, it really was a woman) would park in this manner?
In all fairness to the gentler sex (okay, gender!), vehicles driven by men are frequently parked in front of the same house in similar manner on "party" week-ends.
Questions are being posed to Community Development and to the Police Department on the legality of parking in this manner. Their responses will be posted, if and when received.

Parking as shown in the photo is a violation of Woodstock City Code Section 5.3.13E, which states:
E. Public Rights Of Way:
1. Definitions:
PARKWAY: That area, landscaped or not, of the public right of way extending from the edge of the roadway to the property line.
Because the parkway is in the public right-of-way, the Police Department is to enforce this code section.
We park on the driveway and drive on the parkway. She is only doing what the name implies. Parking...
Damn it Gus...laugh. It's funny.
I should have included the actual prohibition from the City Code in the Section referenced:
2. Parking Restriction: It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle on any sidewalk or in any parkway, except in a parkway area designated by the city council for "on street parking" and improved in accordance with the requirements established by the city council. (Ord. 1928, 8-20-1985)
3. Parking On Sidewalks Or Parkways: No vehicle shall park on any sidewalk or in any parkway, except in a parkway area designated by the city council for "on street parking" and improved in accordance with the requirements established by the city council.
