Here's a wild one. Don't know what professional insurance coverage the council members have from getting sued ... there may be exceptions for when they act in a manner known to be adverse. The swale parking is not just a blight on Marco, it's also a safety and liability issue.

It is only a matter of time before some kid pops out between cars, or some biker gets hit because cars can't see around other parked cars and the biker's view is restricted as well ... let alone the notion of all these vehicles backing into and across lanes of vehicle travel.

So, we get 20 people to throw in $100, and we hire an attorney to draft a formal complaint and have it served on the City of Marco Island and each council member individually. If the City is risk adverse, and I believe putting the City and Council on notice would "attach some risk" ... if nothing else, the City doing nothing may be cause for removal of council members using whatever regulations govern their serving.

The City of Marco has created this problem, or done nothing to be responsive, and it needs to be fixed.
