Firemen, Cops, Judges Still Parking Illegally Downtown

Downtown Brooklyn is still the capital of parking abuse by government employees, despite widespread exposure of the issue. In addition to the Adams Street bike lane, which we’ve been harping about for some time, other problem spots include Gold Street off Myrtle Avenue where a check by The Daily News last week found 29 cars of firefighters illegally parked, six of them on the sidewalk and Jay Street, where cops and firefighters were parked at expired meters with impunity. “They park in front of hydrants, crosswalks and bus stops,” said Michael Burke of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, which has been advocating parking reform in the area. “It’s a safety issue,” he said. “It adds to a sense of lawless in the community.”

Checking In On the Adams Street Bike Lane [Brownstoner]
Sam, more like he’s been dringing. I am not one of those people bkn4life. I am Brooklyn born and bred. But you are right, the judges won’t be parking there because they will build a lot for them.
bkn4life: have you been drinking?
ouch.
i love brownstoner for what it is. but i am aware of what its not.
its not a place of doing. its a place of lightly veiled snarking. thats its mystique. more power to it. as entertainment.
but my bet is that within 3 years, with or without me or chosen or sam, the judges wont be parking there.
change comes tough. especially to brooklyn. this blog is based on the pontifications of people who wouldnt have walked the streets ten years ago where they now own property. its pretty funny listening to them say nothing will ever change.
Forgot,
bkn4life – That login is so appropriate for where you might be headed if you are not careful. I would seek legal counsel before I started a campaign that could be miscontrued as harassment.
No occification at all. Just realistic. Unlike Rush Limbaugh who hopes that Obama fails, I wish you well in your endeavor. If you accomplish your goal I will be the first to give you kudos. I won’t hold my breath though.
try 45.
but maybe the 16 year olds might not be so ossified in position as you appear to be. maye they get it. transparancy at the government level will occur sooner rather than later. but dont park in the bike lane. its a hot button.
NYPD officers have free Metrocards. Again, they come in from the suburbs because they can’t afford to live here and they work crazy shifts that would require them to ride the subway at odd hours of the night. I wouldn’t do it even if I had a gun.
Looks like a movement of one bkn4life. Good luck finding 99 more people for your project.
right! bkn, I will follow you, and your sixteen years of life experience to a better world….la…la….la
