When I called the city to ask about whether or not I should have been contacted or something, they said they had a list of cars that were present when the signs were hung and my license plate was not on the list. Now if they had simply said they were not required to contact me, I would have been pissed, but fine, whatever, I guess the onus is on me. But the fact that they claim my car wasn't there is absolutely galling. Being several hundred bucks in the hole because some city employee can't do their bloody job is not okay.
The city says they're required to take down the plates of all cars already parked when they hang signs and that for this area (which is about half of the unmetred 1300 block and half of the metred 1200 block), there were only two cars already parked there. Now this is absurd, because that entire block is always full. Always. Just counting the unmetred spots, there's space for 5-6 cars and there are hardly ever empty spaces (generally only late at night, and even then it's only ever like one and that's still uncommon). To claim that only 2 of the 5-6 spots (not counting the metred spots) were taken during the middle of the day is tremendously unlikely. Parking services says when they towed on Thursday AM, there were 4 or 5 cars towed. So again, it seems very unlikely that during the normal, unmetred time there were only 2 cars, but when the Temporary No Parking sign were hung, indicating quite clearly that people will be towed, there were 4-5 cars in the exact same area.
After getting my car back, I filed a dispute on the ticket with the city (process detailed here). Today I got a letter saying the screener did not cancel my ticket. So now I either have to go to adjudication or eat it and pay. Has anyone ever been through the adjudication process? Is the adjudicator just going to refer to this seemingly sacrosanct list and not give me a chance at all or do I have a hope of a successful dispute? I've been going to the 1300 block of Homer in question (it's only 2 blocks from my office) and photographing it between 1 and 2 PM, and of course, every time every single spot is empty. Is this evidence of the street being constantly full going to dislodge the claim that when the signs were hung, there were only 2 cars already there?
It's just galling that I was actually wronged here. Had the bloody city just called me, I could have had my car taken care of. But the fact that they claim I was in the wrong just boils my blood. Any stories, successful or otherwise, would be much appreciated!

Welcome to Inner Flow Counselling | Wellness. Conveniently situated in downtown Vancouver, Yvette Lalonde RPCc offers professional counselling and reiki treatments.
http://www.innerflowcounselling.comThe foundation that I work from is supported by a trust that every individual possesses the resiliency, knowledge, and strength to grow and transform themselves. I use a present-centered approach which is based in the here & now experience. I do not negate your past, however as a distinction, we explore how your life experiences are affecting you in the present moment.
Within the safe space of the counsellor-client relationship and by bringing awareness to your emotional, mental, somatic and spiritual occurrences you are provided the opportunity to become intimately aware of how you feel and think.
The advantage of this is you are able to see how your perceptions and behaviours affect your day to day relationships and by exploring new behaviours within our counselling sessions, you may integrate new ways of being in the present moment and subsequently into your life.
As a Professional Registered Counsellor I am trained in many areas. The areas that have special interest in are the following:
