City council will vote tonight on changes to the parking code that could target those experiencing homelessness, advocates say.
Denver City Council will hold a final vote today on a bill that would make several after it was delayed a week by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, which sent a letter to the city asking it to pump the brakes.
. “Your vehicle is all that you own, and all your property is in that. You depend on that for your home. You depend on that for transportation. When that’s taken, you don’t have the ability to go to a health appointment, or to work, or to visit your kids.” According to Clark, the amount of time those vehicles can now park is about 144 hours because street enforcement is complaint-based — so that after people report that a vehicle has not moved for 72 hours, the city has to tag the car and then track that it remains in that same spot for another 72 hours.
But that's not the case, Clark contents. In 2019, Lakewood prohibited RVs from parking on the public right-of-way completely, causing a stir among residents; he says he thinks that city's move could be creating some confusion. Housekeys Action Network regularly hears stories about homeless individuals losing the cars they live in when they are towed, Howard says, noting that one person lost their parents' ashes when their vehicle was hauled away.
“It was registration 'and' inoperability, and somehow there was an ‘or’ in one place that would have let it be what their concern was, where just having expired plates or expired registration could be classified as a junker,” he says.
