I can tell you why I put trash cans there. About half to 3/4 of the time that I didn't do that, somebody parked a couple of feet or more over my driveway. Or, my favorite, they park at a terrible angle leaving much of their car far away from the curb making it completely impossible to drive up and down your own street and pass another car coming the other way.

If you park on a residential street, just have the decency to park appropriately.

My grandparents own the property corning on Stadium Ln and Stadium Ave. Their property line extends to the road. Yet on game days, cars park all over their shrubs and kill anything they try to plant there. Yet do those people get tickets? Nope. When people are in groups, they think they are invisible and that they can get away with anything because "everyone is doing it." You have to remember that many of those houses were built before the stadium was there so you can't argue "well you chose to live there!"

The reason we moved from that street is because although it's zoned as a residential neighborhood, Stadium Ave has become an unofficial public access road. Every time Provo shuts down 2230/2200 North for construction (which is ridiculously often lately), all traffic re-routes to Stadium Ave. Then when construction is finished, all of the people who recently discovered how convenient Stadium Ave is continue to use it as a public access street--including city buses which is technically illegal. We had to call the city multiple times and listen to them swear that no city bus would ever use our street. So we'd have to take pictures and send them in.

Next time you drive on Stadium Ave, notice what terrible condition the road is in. That's because of the volume of traffic it gets. However, because the street is zoned residential, it rarely ever gets repaved.

Just something to think about as you curse those Stadium Ave residents
