This morning I was awoken at 6:20 AM by the honking/sirens of tow trucks preceding snow removal. They passed twice, making an incredible noise for 5 to 10 minutes each time. I can hear them approaching from at least a block away. I guess today I was lucky, because these trucks have passed before blasting their horns at 1:30 AM and 2:00 AM, which is totally unacceptable. Waking up hundreds of people at that hour simply because 1 or 2 people have parked on the wrong side of the street is completely unfair. It's bad enough to have to hear this racket at 8:00 PM, but between 11:00 PM and 9:00 AM? Isn't there a law against this? It's now 9:30 AM and the snow is still on the street. Basically, the whole block got a rude awakening this morning for no reason, because now that everyone is awake and off to work, all the cars are gone! I'd like to see these honking/siren trucks banned. Isn't this called "disturbing the peace"? And isn't disrupting hundreds of people in order to save a couple people a towing fee a bit medieval? There has to be a better way.
