Sierra Madre cops are a joke, they wait for things like this to happen so the 5 older people who complain constantly about noise in the city can be happy and have one person applaud them at a city council meeting. What about the 10,000 other residents who want to use the city resources on a normal basis? Wheres their voice if they want to drive downtown and use the city lots. How much noise can the few people in that lot possibly make to bring the city into it? Sometimes you have to be a little more realistic and not give in to just a few peoples complaints to change the whole services for a city. I am a resident of 5 years.

I believe the posted notices said violators “may” be cited and/or towed.
It’s no parking after midnight in a parking lot designed to accommodate patrons of nearby businesses that are still open after midnight. What’s wrong with that picture??? Duh!
This was a first offense, and I understand the cars were cited and towed three minutes after midnight. That’s rather ambitious and aggressive enforcement, wouldn’t you say?
Yes, it was all legal. But was it the right thing to do?
