Those Great Big Signs inviting callers to voice their opinion regarding the proposal to make the section of Lombard St. two-way finally came down over the weekend. I forgot to check whether they were gone when I first noticed the double yellow lines, but they were definitely there when I left the house on Thursday (what, five years after the city stopped taking calls on the matter?). They probably came down at the same time the "no parking during street cleaning" (twice a week) signs got rotated to face the new direction for oncoming traffic.
If certain folks persist in their habit of parking in a travel lane with their flashers on right next to or a one car length away from an open parking spot in the curb lane now that there's only the single travel lane each direction, I'm going to be Quite Annoyed. (They do this on Mount St., which has been one lane each way the whole time ... will they figure out that Lombard is a more heavily travelled street than Mount? Will the police care more?)

Okay, now I try to fall asleep...
