Summary
Mary Rutale got a ticket for parking on her driveway apron and found two city ordinances that appear to contradict each other — one allows it, the other ("beyond the curb") doesn't apply where there's no curb. She asked council to straighten out the inconsistency so others don't get ticketed unfairly.
