Municipal officials last week upheld a $50 ticket issued to a New Canaan man who had double-parked outside an Elm Street restaurant on a Tuesday afternoon in May.
In pleading his case to the Parking Commission, Gayle Sanders said that he was “returning some lights to Rosie’s restaurant” that had been used at a catered event.
“I had parked, double-parked right next to the restaurant,” Sanders said during his appeal hearing, held Thursday via videoconference.
“I tucked in, there wasn’t any traffic and I put my blinker lights on, and carried the box in and then returned back to my car. I couldn’t have been more than one minute in the whole process. I didn’t speak to anyone. I didn’t loiter. I just dropped the boxes and returned to my car. Unbeknownst to me I guess the parking attendant was right there and was writing a ticket as I was returning to my car.”
