Upset over placement of motorcycles

Last Saturday while traveling down Sacramento Street there was a tent set up with motorcycles for sale parked underneath. I had no problem with that until the car in front of me suddenly stopped to look. This caused me to do a hard break; and the car behind me had to do the same. After recovering from what could have been a disastrous situation, I wasn't OK with that display anymore. I was upset, as my small children were in the back seat (safely secured).

After doing some searching through the city of Lodi Web site, I found this: L.M.C. 10.44.040 - "Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, it is unlawful to park upon any public street, right-of-way or public place within two-hundred feet of any signalized intersection, or all-way stop controlled intersection, or within seventy-five feet of any other intersection, any vehicle, vessel or trailer for sale. The city council finds and declares that this constitutes a traffic hazard by distracting the attention of passing motorists and pedestrians away from other traffic moving through and about such intersections."

All I request is that this display be moved to a safer location, and for the business person to kindly take into consideration the L.M.C. set forth by our City Council members.
