How Will the Great Slope Parking Experiment Play Out?
A headline in today’s Times: “New Parking Rules Receive a Wary Welcome.” A headline in today’s Daily News: “Joy Spreads in Park Slope as Hated Alternate-Side Parking to be Halted.” But what do you think? Alt-Side Hiatus: Terrif or Trashy? ( polls) Photo by charles.hope.

Nice to see the guests fighting among themselves for a change.
10:32 are you 10:43 also?? If not, you are both spot on with your comments.
Who benefits from this? The lazy car owner, in other words you have enabled a slacker to be more of a slacker. The sewer drains will be clogged after heavy rains, the garbage will bake in the heat, and the debris will spread to the sidewalk all this as the lazy car owner sits on their couch blasting the a/c and laughing.
“put out more public garbage cans”
“sanitation will have to step up during this time with additional garbage pickup”
Yeah, the city will do that right away, sir.
“the neighborhood would have been notified and maybe we could issue plaques to keep outsiders from using PS as a parking lot.”
neighborhood-issued plaques will keep outsiders from parking there? Did you just fall off the turnip truck?
Streets won’t be any cleaner OR dirtier, as those streeet sweepers don’t actually accomplish anything…they’re simply a front by the city to perpetuate alternate side & all the acellary $$ generated by ticketing.
Actually, 10:32, you didn’t explain anything. And I’m not sure it makes me a dimwit by asking this question. When the street cleaning rules go back in effect, in the fall, and are reduced to ONCE a week for 90 minutes (which is the plan), I am wondering how it will work.
Have i explained my question to better? Perhaps, 10:32, you ought to take a breather and not answer this one.
“If there is no “alternating”, how do they get both sides of the street clean?”
They don’t, that’s the issue dimwit. What else do you need us to explain?
this can work. put out more public garbage cans, street cleaners can still come through but it will be in the center for now. sanitation will have to step up during this time with additional garbage pickup (especially on the corners).
if they planned this a little better, the neighborhood would have been notified and maybe we could issue plaques to keep outsiders from using PS as a parking lot.
also, i am a little nervous about them putting alt parking back into effect with as little/short notice as we had with the ban going into effect and they will start tkting like crazy on the first day back…keep your ears and eyes open
10:26, how about rat exterminators?
I live in Park Slope and drive a car (and, yes, 9:52, we are entitled to everything, even – gasp- our cars). Can someone explain to me how it will work when we only move the car once a week, as the NY Times said today. If there is no “alternating”, how do they get both sides of the street clean? I don’t get it.
