I parked in the MIDDLE of a street. The sign said no parking Mon-Fri 8-6pm, it was
Saturday.
I got a ticket for $165.00.
The ticket said I was blocking a pedestrian ramp. I looked on the other side of my
car and there was a indented section, but there were no signs for me to know this.
It was not until I found the ticket on my car that I looked on the other side. There
was a faded yellow line on the curb....but when you're in the middle of the block,
who ever heard of a pedestrial ramp. It wasn't a ramp. Just an area, about
two feet wide that was slanted instead of being a curb. I plan to fight this. Am I
wrong?

I think this is a rip off. This is a high tourist area (Greenwich Village) and I'm
sure anyone from out of town is also getting trapped like this.

Sorry it didn't work out. It sounded like you had a good defense. I find it irritating when the judge won't evaluate all available information. $165 plus all your other expenses? Ouch!
