According to Manassas Park City Manager Laszlo Palko, just over $1,000 worth of tickets is being voided and refunded to city residents.
- The refunds come after some were ticketed after confusion occurred over changes to the city’s latest parking ordinances.
- Drivers at older homes with limited parking spaces were being ticketed for parking in angled/perpendicular spaces in front of their homes instead of parking their cars parallel to the curb.
- Palko said that these residents should have been warned instead of ticketed.
- “We should have issued only warning citations in these cul-de-sacs until we had time to engage with the community to find out what was going on and to brief the Governing Body on the issue to see if some legislative alternative was needed,” Palko said.
Why it matters: This ticket refund also comes at a time when the city is in some serious debt.
- The city’s annual debt service is roughly $10.5 million.
The parallel parking rule in the city is to ensure that emergency vehicles can get to residents in times of emergencies.
