dal20402: The policy that people who live on non-RPP blocks can't get RPP stickers is pretty ridiculous and I wish DDOT would change it.

It basically seems to assume that the purpose of each RPP block is to let the people on that exact block park there. If you don't have RPP on your block, you don't need a sticker to park on your block, ergo you don't need a sticker.

It's nonsensical. This isn't the sort of policy which should be decided block by block. Likewise, DDOT has a rule that if you want to extend RPP hours, you have to do a petition for your own block. But again, it's silly to have a patchwork of hours for individual blocks.

We need to decide these policies at the neighborhood level. Conveniently, we have elected neighborhood councils which can do just that.

One thing I can say for Graham's one side of the street legislation is at least it didn't specify that individual blocks choose to participate or not, but rather that ANCs do.
