Town of Markham - Parking Infraction Notice

Having told by a fellow neighbor that if you park your car overnight at the home builder's property that the Town of Markham does not have the right to give you a ticket....

Long behold... my buddy who's visiting us from HK parks is rental car near our house not on the town of markham property... and guess what... he gets a ticket a few days later!

The ticket states that "Officer No X Believe from my personal knowledge in and certify that on the date and time shown below. The owner (or operator) of the vehicle upon which was displayed the number plat described below did commit the parking infraction as stated. Contrary to the town of markham by-law. By-law and section noted below. "

Clearly - the area where we parked is the builders property! and yet they give us the ticket and with a deadline of 15 days to respond... with the office hour open between 12:00pm to 4:15pm Monday to Friday!!!!

Our tax dollars have gone to hire sneaky enforcement officers who do not follow the by-laws. They knew we will have difficulty going to fight the ticket...

We ended up paying the bill because we cannot make it there during the hour of operation! (We have a job too you know!)

On top of that they charge a nominal fee! when you paid the bill!

Over all not satisfied with the Town of Markham parking enforcement offer number X!
