The Foundation For The Defense Of Citizens Against State Abuses (FACIAS) has petitioned the City Hall of Sector 3 to promptly revoke the controversial stipulations of a City Council resolution. This resolution requires holders of residential parking permits to vacate their parking spaces weekly, on Fridays, without exception, for cleaning at a randomly set time slot.
The residents of Sector 3 have lodged a formal complaint with FACIAS regarding the parking regulations imposed by the city hall. These regulations mandate the release of parking spaces at designated times, with violators facing significant penalties. Individuals may be subject to fines ranging from 500 to 1,000 lei, and non-compliance with the regulations may result in the revocation of their parking permit, absent exceptional circumstances not explicitly outlined in the regulation.
FACIAS posits that these stipulations are unduly onerous and disproportionate, particularly in light of the numerous valid reasons why citizens might be unable to comply with the City Council's directive. These include the dearth of alternative parking options in a congested area, personal circumstances such as holidays, illness, suspension of driving privileges, business travel, medical issues, technical malfunctions of the vehicle, and other analogous circumstances.
In light of the aforementioned circumstances, FACIAS respectfully requests that the City Hall of Sector 3 reconsider the decision of the local council and immediately eliminate the aforementioned abusive provisions. These measures serve to underscore the chronic shortage of parking spaces in Bucharest and the excessive attitude of the local administration.
