The City of Buffalo\'s Parking Enforcement policy to recently increase parking fines from $15 to $35 is evidence that Buffalo\'s leadership has lost sight of providing good service to its already declining residency. Rather than pay city employees to drive around and ticket cars, perhaps their time would be better spent cleaning the streets. Let\'s let Mayor Tony Masiello\'s Administration know that this needs to change. For many people in this already cash strapped economy, this money can represent half of a day\'s pay. Please sign this petition if you would like to see the parking tickets in the City of Buffalo be reduced from $35 back to $15.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people feel the same way about these parking costs. The momentum behind this is entirely because you all decided this was worth talking about.

Total greed. $35 is way too much for a normal parking ticket.

Buffalo needs to be more friendly to people who actually live here. Stop treating us like a piggy bank.

Ridiculous. They are just trying to squeeze every penny out of us. Get a real job and clean the trash off our streets instead of harassing residents.

Seriously? 35 bucks for being 5 mins late? My paycheck doesnt just grow on trees. Fix this ASAP.

This is exactly why people are moving out of the city. We dont need to pay for the mayors poor budget planning.
