I fought city hall and won!
So my car broke down June 15th at the end of my street. It ended up being the lift pump for fuel in the tank, which was a breeze to replace but cost $300. (It's accessed under the back seat, which just lifts up, much like Jody Barnes Audi battery in high school.) So I got out of the car and looked around and noticed it was stopped in a Bus Stop. I then pushed my car, by myself past the pole with the sign. So looking from the street, from left to right, it was my car, then a 2 foot gap, then a pole with a sign that said bus stop no parking with an arrow to the right on it. The next afternoon, I went to my car to get it off the street and found a ticket on the window that said No stopping/bus stop. Underneath that I noticed it said Photo Taken. So I went online and filed an appeal stating that my car was not in the no parking zone, and the ticket said a photo was taken, so they should be able to see in it clearly I was not in the bus stop. I got a letter a few days later saying it was dismissed! I'm pretty impressed how easy the city made it to appeal and how they reasonably dropped the issue.
