Neither the hopes nor the fears surrounding last spring’s suspension of alternate side of the street parking in Park Slope were realized, according to the findings of the Department of Transportation. Parking spaces were not hogged by scheming commuters but nor was it measurably easier for residents to find a spot. According to a post-suspension survey, it takes drivers an average of 27 minutes to find a parking spot in the Slope. Ouch! Wonder what the average time is in Brooklyn Heights.
