Re: Are You Pissed Off? Tell us about it.  6/ 7/2008 - 8:15pm
   American Parking (trustee of Tulsa Parking Authority) has began issuing tickets/citations on the lot where the old towerview apartments used to stand. It has no 'paid parking' identification (lighting, striping, pay meters/stations,etc..)and appears seperate from the adjacent 'marked/identified' American Parking lot. Is there change of fees, or status regulations or requirements, or can it be one thing one day, and a different animal the next, and Joe Q. Public need not be notified, or must we assume all concerete and asphalt in the business district is 'fair ticket' game, and is even city property yet? I know of dozens of tickets issued in the last serveral days, surely amounting in the hundred of dollars, and will continue to amass. This seems like a speedtrap of sorts to me, except even a speedtrap usually will have the speed posted on the road enforced. It is also more expensive for the ticket, than for most parking - maybee a little extra summer-fun money getting generated for the Parking Authority's trustee's (American Parking)!!??.. Any info on?

Re: Whose Domain?  6/ 7/2008 - 7:57pm
   As of the first week of June 2008, American Parking (trustee of the Tulsa Parking Authority?), has begun issuance of parking tickets/fines/citations on the location of the old Towerview apartments. I am told that is property of the city now, thru eminent domain, and since the demoliton of the existing structure, has been asphalted. My concern, or question is, that uninforced parking had existed, and being utilized by some construction personell. The lot is not striped, illuminated, and no notice/posting, or way of identifing it as a 'paid parking' existed. In fact parking bumpers separate it from a 'marked' and notified lot, which would indicate towards it's separation from the existing American Parking lot. I have heard American Parking now 'manages' the lot, per anothers contact/call with them. I am concerned this may be a lie, with the city's trustee thinking that none of the 'violators' will question the validity of it, and will wrongly accure hundreds if not thousands of dollars in fines/tickets fraudulently. Is there any truths here, and are there notification or striping regulations, or ordinances to give the public some sort of change of status notice, or is it commonly normal to have unanounced fee/status changes for parking lots? anybody know?
