How Many Cars Park Illegally At Natick High?

It's raining in Natick so you don't want to walk all the way from the parking lot to the front door of the new high school.

Instead, you decide to park either in the fire lane or the bike lane.

Parents, students and even some Town Meeting members have parked illegally at the new Natick High School throughout the year. It doesn't have to be raining. It doesn't have to be because they're just running inside for five minutes. People park in places where they're not supposed to whenever there are events held at the high school.

The bike lane in the semi-circle in front of the school is the best example of illegal parking. Prior to last night's Annual Senior Internship Showcase Event, Patch counted at least 23 cars parked illegally in front of Natick High.

And they weren't just cars that were parked illegally because they were in the bike lane, which, although legally it doesn't matter, some people may not know they're not allowed to park there. One car was parked next to a fire hydrant, while another was parked in a cross walk.

Patch spent a few minutes outside to see if anyone came running out to quickly move their car with the possibility that someone had run into the gym to give their kid something they had forgotten. No one came outside to move any of the cars during that time period.
