You can toss a coin whether to feel sorry for the paving contractor who was hired to resurface the parking lot at the TD Bank and Pharma Plus at 321 Moore Ave. For reasons unknown, he was doing the work on Saturday afternoon as hundreds of people tried to get cash, fill a prescription, buy gum or whatever. Cars were lined up along Moore Ave (above) in a catch-me-if-you-can challenge to police. No one was allowed in the lot. Some of the parking was, um, not exactly perfect. Check the white Ford on the corner. Drivers sprinted from their vehicles and back in hope of beating the traffic wardens. But when the contractor left for the day the yellow tape mysteriously got taken down (imagine). Then those crazy South Bayview residents started to park on the lot again. All of this led to day two of resurfacing (Sunday) because they made such a mess. .
