University Parking Ticket

Re: reason for citation #W10341 appeal:

On April 4, 2003 at approximately 8:00pm, I parked my motorcycle (parking decal # MC20984386517) by the eastern-most bicycle rack at Bloompie Hall Plaza. 

The motorcycle was not on a sidewalk, nor was it impeding: pedestrian, bicycle or vehicle traffic. 

During the day, many scooters (not go-peds)—at times approaching a dozen—are parked at various locations on Bloompie Plaza.  These locations include: bicycle racks, next to buildings, on sidewalks, and in breeze-ways.  In order for these scooters to park in these locations, the drivers must first drive around the fence barricade that the university has erected to keep non-official traffic out of the university roadways.  Driving a non-official vehicle during business hours around these barricades is prohibited.  And Bloompie Plaza is not alone is its occupancy of scooters; many other locations in the inner university are littered with these scooters—all driven illegally around the barricades. 

I fail to see the logic in this double standard.  Why do I receive a ticket for parking, well after hours, my motorcycle in a non-obtrusive location and the scooters not? 

If the university Police Department is going to enforce no-motorcycle parking, then the same needs to apply to scooter parking.  I am basing my appeal on this glaring inconsistency.
