There was recently a professionally conducted Estate Sale held at the home of a long time Waukeganite on N. Martin Ave. An estate sale like this requires on street parking for the customers. The area of N. Martin Ave where the sale took place has no parking on both sides of the street. The people that conducted the sale got permission from the WPD to allow customers to park on the street for the duration of the sale. Evidently someone in the WPD forgot this because at least 10 cars were ticketed there at approximately 3pm on Friday. The officer who did this should be held responsible. He should have known better and checked. Very unprofessional. All who recieved tickets should be contacted and apologized to.
