Plainfield could learn something from its sister community to the south. A reader advised this morning that the Borough of South Plainfield used a robocall to its residents to advise they needed to get their cars off the streets today or face ticketing.
Now, that's what I call using your noodle.
Plainfielders generally only experience robocalls during the election season, when candidates use them to get out their messages.
But there's no reason they can't be used by a municipality in a weather event such as we are experiencing. Besides, they are cheap if used very infrequently.
Presumably, storms like today's would be infrequent.
And it would certainly help the DPW workers if more residents' cars were off the streets when the plows go through.

Dan...again...using phrases like " using your noodle "...that phrase alone probably confuses "She who walks in fog". She probably doesn't even know phones can do wild and crazy stuff like that!
It wont work in Plainfield. There is no where that the cars can be put because the residents and apartments have no room. Believe this, its only going to get worse. When you have rentals and no safe housing rules you are going to have over crowding and cars on the street. All new development in this city ALL have inadequate parking and rely on street parking as the stopgap. Westfield's downtown is having the same problem in their business district but Plainfield wont take the clue. But 6000 residents of Plainfield like it that way.
