Town ordinances are funny. When the Town of Estes Park wants to enforce them they do, or not. If there isn’t an ordinance they pretend that there is one and act as if there is. This was pointed out in the last posting on marketing, advertising, et al.
A few pictures were passed along to us to point this out. The first is a truck. This is a post office truck parked illegally. If a citizen parked on the street they would be ticketed. The ordinance doesn’t make exceptions for the USPS. Only the local cops do.
The second is a storage trailer parked at a local retailer. This is against an ordinance. Where’s the enforcement?
The next examples show favoritism where the “policy” isn’t an ordinance, but there is lots of room for favoritism. Why could Fun City totally replace their sign and yet when Dick’s Rock Shop was sold the new owner couldn’t get a permit to change the sign? So, what's the big deal? Duh, if one has the rules, shouldn't they be followed? Apparently some folks don't think so. Silly people.
