They have their own carparks.
Don't worry - even official council cars get ticketed - when I was working in the city (Building Inspector), I got one ticket (which I refused to pay) and told another inspector to fuck off as he was eagerly pulling out his book up by the new varsity commerce school!

I'll be in and so would the Auckland University SMC club.

Scooters and Mopeds should defnitely unite.

We'll bring Auckland City to a standown just like the days when Stagecoach drivers went on strike a while back and Auckland pretty much fucked!

Sure but this issue is about bikes that free up congested car parks!

By parking in small unobtrusive spaces, (on footpaths etc)

Then getting ticketed by parking meter zealots!

You were not on your bike I take it?

Yes, John Banks rides a Harley. Former mayor Dick Hubbard also rides - I don't know what he has these days but he started out on a Volty.

So what!
You think Banks would ride to work? And if he did, would he park on the footpath, or in his undercover, council-provided car park?

Right, i'm now officially taking up full car parks. Just got a $40 ticket for parking out of the way on the footpath in kingsland, as did DiscoTex. Stupid bloody parking rules.....

Guess is for real and not just one overzelous warden. Just got a ticket for parking on the footpath in Kingsland (land of the no available carparks).

Morons. Now I plan to take as much room as I can.

If someone plans a parking blockade in the city I'm in for it 100%. Happy to pay the meter fees as well.

At least I've saved more than $40 in pay and display fees by parking on footpaths in the last year!

to the council.

Aah, explains why I got nailed outside the med school a few weeks ago. Hiding behind a tree so the bike didnt stick out whatsoever and still got the ticket. Been doing it for 2 years and this is the first time something has happened. Count me in for a nice little carpark blocking session.

I just got done for parking on yellow lines... while technically illegal (I concede that) its why they are yellow... They are next to a pedestrian crossing... and their aim is to allow pedestrians and vehicles alike to have a clear veiw for safety. I did not affect that at all (bushes on the kerb were bigger).

Need to write/phone them, and find out what they recommend, as parking on the footpath is illegal too. As soon as the word carpark comes out... we have an official recommendation (I'll get his name).

I'm pissed off with their short-sightedness, and the picking on uni students pissed me off too... They need a swift lesson. I thought 0730-0830, on a very busy street (princes by uni would be well used, and would make impressive photos) would cause the most trouble (when people are trying to find parks for the day).

Count me in.

The short-sightedness is what gets me too. Best make sure the media are involved with any blockade for maximum impact.
