It is true that Bolesława Prusa Street in Bolesławiec is now a proud showcase for the city and has returned to its former glory. I will go further—it has never in the past been so beautiful and rich in shops and service outlets. The carefully renovated façades testify to the prosperity of the town on the Bóbr and the proper use of funds from the municipal treasury. However, I do not want to overdo the praise, because I am outraged by the widespread violation of local law by motor vehicle owners.
It is enough to walk along this busy transport and shopping artery before noon and later (intended mainly for pedestrians, as it is also a kind of promenade, thanks to its wide pavements and flowers blooming from spring until late autumn in specially arranged ceramic planters) to stumble over passenger-car bodies at every step. I understand that at certain (early) hours delivery vehicles must drive here with goods, but for heaven’s sake—where does this widespread violation of the regulations and malicious (?) parking by private owners of motor vehicles come from? Everything has gone unpunished so far, and none of my appeals or interventions with those responsible for this lawlessness has had any effect. There are two interconnected ways out of this situation: appropriately mark the street entrance (with prohibition signs) and enforce fines through the police. Verbal persuasion does not help—let a severe financial penalty decide the matter. I guarantee the result.
