Here are the three photos I’ve submitted to the Department of Traffic and Parking:
This is what Stef would have seen from her car. Most of the sign is obscured. The only part of the bottom sign showing is for “SNOW EMERGENCY” parking. From the sidewalk this sign is blocked by the bush.
If she was curious and turned around, the sign behind her is blank in this direction.
That’s the lovely and talented Matt Scott with a tape measure. It’s about five feet from the sidewalk to the bottom of the sign. It’s well below the state regulations.
