Running Out of Space of Park, and Places to Walk

Date: 11/09/2007

Having trouble finding parking in New York Ctiy? Tired of people blocking your way? Just when you thought it could get any worst, but it's not quite like that. The same problem is happening in Athens. No room for pedestrians, no space, so what's left to do? Start a protest! Mr. Pouliasis took action by placing one hand on the hood and the other on the windshield. He put damaged on the car and the owner came out furious. All he was trying to do was get rights for the people to have their walkway back. Nobody knew that the owner of the car was parked illegally.

The pedestrains are being disrepected because they do not have their rights to walk. They are being blocked by illegal parked cars. There are people in scooters storming down the streets where pedistrians struggle to have a decent walk. We thought it was bad in New York where everyone is in a rush to get from point A to point B, but here in Europe it is worst. Drivers are complaining there is not enough parking space so they have ruined the 50,000 steels columns put up for the 2004 Olympics. This is getting out of hand and people are saying there is no way to solve this situation.

People are being fed up and they don't want to cause any more damage. Will the traffic department ever come to a conclusion with the public? This article was well written and detailed. I liked how they were focused on what the drivers and pedestrians thought. I always thought nobody would be able to beat New York traffic or crazy morning and late rushes. It is still difficult to find parking in the city but in Athens this may be a crisis. They're losing capacity on parking but they would need to find areas to build parking lots. The more damaged the drivers cause, the more tickets, but fining these people won't stop them from cramping into one space.
