For those who missed my prior post on the topic, the city of Ontario announced mandatory weekly car removal from the street to allow street sweeping.
If your side of the street is scheduled for sweeping, and your car is still on the street, you would get a ticket.
After Ontario revealed the signs, it stated that the fines wouldn’t be enforced until the first full week of May.
So beginning in early May, I religiously ensured my car was off my side of the street by Wednesday noon.
Until Ontario restated that the fines wouldn’t be enforced until the first full week of JUNE.
Who does Ontario think it is? The Transportation Security Administration?
But I kept on moving my car through the end of May, every single week.
After a month of enforcement delay, Wednesday June 4 rolled around. And I reminded myself that I REALLY needed to move my car that morning before noon to avoid a ticket from the city.
You can guess what happened next.
I remembered to move my car…at 2:30 in the afternoon.
And found a $50 ticket that was left at 12:57 in the afternoon.
On the day that it REALLY counted.
I immediately tried to pay my fine online, but the (handwritten) ticket hadn’t been entered into the payment system yet.
I’ve been advised that it may take as long as a month to record the ticket in the payment system.
Sadly, I’m not counting on the system to forget about it.
Even though I have a REAL ID.
