Description

The signs are up. Do not drive on tracks. No Parking. No Stopping on Crosswalk. They need to be enforced. Due to the construction of the light rail, there is now one lane in each direction. There are people the turn onto Monticello and get off of the asphalt and drive down the tracks. Taxicabs park in the lane and try to wave you around them and onto the tracks. Cars park in the crosswalk in front of MacArthur Center blocking not only the crosswalk but the travel lane that you are supposed to be driving in. You can see the tire marks on the catenary pole foundations where cars have hit them while illegally driving on the tracks. The city needs to start enforcement now. If these rules are not enforced well in advance of the opening of the light rail, we will have to deal with accidents instead of minor tickets.
