$115 ticket for double parking? Hell no! Because of #NYPDlaundry on the dash, rules don’t apply. While taking this picture she came out and asked what our contributor was doing. Told that she’s abusing her badge, she said “what are you going to do about it?” And laughed it off.

If the NYPD needs some tutoring I’d be happy to explain to them that the grey area they’re parked on is called the “sidewalk” and it’s for pedestrians, not parking.

No matter how far you kick it up the ladder, the NYPD will lie to protect illegal parking. Long past time to put someone else in charge of parking enforcement

Thank you Robert! We need more New York legislators to come out against this cowardly capitulation to Republicans

Terrible idea. I’ll be voting NO. Congestion Pricing will not only fund necessary @MTA capital projects but also make NYC streets safer, air cleaner, and make our city more livable.

@wontmisshiam If you or the DOT would like to propose narrowing this sidewalk for more parking spaces got totally can! Until then, parking on the sidewalk is always illegal

NYC takes illegal parking so seriously that even our city workers want to get in on the action.

Makes sense that during a budgetary crisis the NYC government would attempt to shrink a program that brings in lots of tax revenue in favor of free car storage that brings in nothing.

. @BilldeBlasio ’s former DOT commissioner, Hank Gutman, says making outdoor dining seasonal will be a hardship for restaurants and urges the city to push back the Nov. 2024 deadline. “Otherwise it won’t be a viable program for the longterm.”

Big own goal by NYC on this one. Quietly ruining the best thing to come about in recent years.

Hmm lets see: -Only April thru Oct -no roof (so useless in the rain) -no heating Why would any small business invest in these structures at all? NYC has all but terminated this mostly successful program.

Midtown is an absolute nightmare of gridlock, angry honking and illegally parked cars. Congestion pricing will do wonders for the back to the office movement.
