I have been using the Tucker St launch into Weems Creek since the 1990s. I always paid attention to the signs about where parking was and was not allowed. Until recently there has been one parking space available between the last house and the park bench. The signs allowed that space, but few knew about it. I parked there hundreds of times over more than 25 years.
This morning when I returned from an outing, the woman who lives in the last house called out to me and said that she had left a note on my windshield. She explained that the City of Annapolis had redone the signage, which now made my long-time parking space a 30-minute loading only space. It appears that 1 or 2 of the previous spaces are now off limits. There are still spaces farther up the hill or, if necessary, on the first cross street at the top of the hill.
She was kind enough to give me a polite notification rather than immediately calling the City authorities to ticket or tow me. I am passing along her note as a heads up to those who use that launch. The Tucker St residents have been remarkably tolerant to the kayak fishing community. I hope we can all be conscientious users of the launch facility. Don't leave any trash behind. Be as quiet as possible when arriving early in the morning.
