Some things never change, like Shred-it’s co-opting of a small lakefront street as a base of operations for its illegally parked trucks. For years, we’ve been watching and reporting on Shred-it’s disregard for traffic congestion and parking rules, by pulling trucks into no-parking zones and cycling lanes to pick up and shred documents. Article Continued BelowWe first noticed it a few years ago, when we spotted five Shred-it trucks on the one-block-long street, two of which were double parked, leaving just a single lane for all traffic. The boss of Shred-it told us that five trucks at a time on Freeland was an unusual occurrence, and that he didn’t see anything wrong with using the street as a downtown base of operations. So we weren’t surprised to see three Shred-it trucks — two cargo trucks and a third with a shredding machine in it — parked on Freeland twice in the past few weeks, an indication that Shred-it has yet to change its ways.
