Trucker blasts Aurora mayor’s proposed parking laws
A proposed Aurora law that would crack down on truckers parking illegally in the city has raised the ire of at least one driver. On Monday, Mayor Mike Coffman introduced legislation at a study session that would make stricter Aurora’s laws regulating how long truckers can park. Denver recently changed its truck parking ordinance and Coffman wants Aurora’s to be at least as strict. ”You got to love how this works,” driver Charles Bolin said in an email. “Denver doesn't want trucks parked on the street outside of warehouses so they ban the trucks. We go to Aurora because it's the only other place left and they decide they don't want us so they pass an ordinance kicking us out, too.”
