Wichita has decided to reinstate a controversial parking enforcement practice that has been declared unconstitutional by a federal appeals court covering four other states, city officials said.
Wichita has decided that it won’t scrap a method known as “chalking” tires, a means of establishing how long a car’s been parked in a particular space.
“After reviewing the opinion of the court, we have elected to . . . continue chalking tires to monitor parking,” said a statement from a city spokeswoman provided in response to Eagle questions. “Enforcing parking restrictions is crucial to our local economy – businesses depend upon the public having quick and convenient access to their locations.”
