Community Should I fight this parking tkt?

Post image

At a friend’s house in Corktown last night, I got a parking ticket on the north side of Church St near 10th. The ticket cites code 804.3 for “BLOCKING CROSSWALK.” There was no sign and no lines painted on the road. When parking, I looked around and wondered if the curb cut was for the new building, though in retrospect, 10th st dead-ended where I was parked so maybe I should’ve known. Is this worth fighting? The ticket remarks say I was supposed to be 15’ from the crosswalk. In this case, I think 15’ is absurd.
