Park It, Slope: Alternate-Side Regs Tossed 'Indefintely'
It’s good to be a Sloper. Especially, nowadays, one who owns a car. The Department of Transportation is suspending alternate side of the street parking in the neighborhood starting this Monday, according to a post on Gowanus Lounge.

It’s good to be a Sloper. Especially, nowadays, one who owns a car. The Department of Transportation is suspending alternate side of the street parking in the neighborhood starting this Monday, according to a post on Gowanus Lounge. The suspension will be in effect “indefinitely” for the area from Pacific Street to 15th Street and from 4th Avenue to the park, or until the DOT changes the neighborhood’s signs so they reflect new regulations that cut restricted parking periods down from three hours to 90 minutes. GL reports that similar suspensions are on tap for Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook. The big question right now, probably, is whether this is going to mean a very dirty summer for Park Slope curbs.

I used to live in NJ and my air conditioning bill was around $500 a month and my heat was around $450 a month.
Honestly, I much prefer the window airconditioner. It’s much more eco friendly and a HELL of a lot cheaper!
And btw, the 10 million dollar brownstones on the Upper West Side and West Village don’t all have central air either.
So it’s not just a “2 million dollar brooklyn thing”
12:17, you are a dumbass, that’s why! Some people prefer older construction, which often boasts superior materials and details even if you dont get central air. Also, if someone has to explain the appeal of living in an urban area like Brooklyn without a yard vs. living in a godawful suburb with a reallll big backyard, then maybe you shouldnt live in the city! That’s why we have suburbs, dummy, for people like you!
Since I work for the Dept. of Transportation, I can tell you that the putting up the new signs will take a few weeks at most. The entire area of Park Slope should be completed by July, when alternate side of the street parking will resume with 90 minutes instead of 3 hours.
Not quite sure why everyone has assumed this will be for the entire summer.
I live in Prospect Heights and I think its easier to find parking in areas where you have to move your car 4x a week. Because of the constant rotation of cars, 99% of the time I find parking on my block, usually in front of my building. So, in addition to easy parking, we get to have clean streets and NO garbage smells during the summer since our trash gets picked up 3x a week. I’m very interested to see what happens to Park Slope this summer…
I always chuckle when I wander around Park Slope and notice just how many of the cars seem to be “visiting” from Vermont, PA, NH, MA, etc.
And now they’ll complain about ‘non-slopers’ parking there.
REGISTER YOUR CAR LEGALLY liberal tight-wad and then get back to me.
I think posters here made several excellent points. imagine paying two million dollars for a house and a)having no place at all to park your car, and b) having to use window air conditioners like folks living in low-rent apartments.
The Brooklyn market is a head-scratcher.
To most of the country “Brooklyn” means muggings and low-lifes and crackheads. to a tiny percentage it means the place where I will spend two million dollars on an ancient rowhouse with no land and no modern mechanical systems.
I can’t figure it out.
of course people stay in brooklyn for the summer
you never saw do the right thing?
