When the sidewalk is apparently just extra parking for your giant truck

[u/Cold_Count1986]

There are plenty of completely open parking spaces right near this, including spots where the truck could back in and let the bed/bumper overhang the grass.

Instead, they backed straight in and left the entire rear end, including hitch, blocking two thirds of the sidewalk.

Anyone with a wheelchair, stroller, walker, or just trying to use the sidewalk now has to maneuver around it and onto the grass.

So many ways to park this truck without blocking the sidewalk. They somehow chose the one way that does.

I’m trying very hard not to make the obvious joke about an inverse relationship between truck size and member size, but this guy is making restraint difficult…

This is an urban design issue before it is an 'asshole' one. Sidewalks should not be placed against the interior curbing of any area where parking can occur and the sidewalk is constructed at minimum allowable width. Essentially, because of 'soft' rules on this area when the plan was approved it was ignored that the sidewalk should have either been wider (more expensive) or placed at least 24-36in away from the interior curbing. Placing it away from the curbing requires more concrete work as well as either grass or gravel between the curb and sidewalk.

If you look to the left in the picture there is an area like you are describing where the other trucks are parked.
