Park It, Slope: Alternate-Side Regs Tossed 'Indefintely'
It’s good to be a Sloper. Especially, nowadays, one who owns a car.

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.

Putnamdenizen, we’re talking about a government agency. Over/under on the sign changing project is 3 months, and I’m taking the over. Seems like a safe bet–it took, what, 19 years for them to re-pave Columbia Street.
Why not Boerum Hill? A vast majority of this ‘hood is filled with townhouses. They have places to store their garbage so it would be easier to relax the rules there as well.
Guys – why do any of you think it will take more than a couple days to change out the signs? Seems like you all are misreading “temporarily” as “indefinitely.” Have fun picking up your cars at the tow lot.
there’s a wave of window breakers in PS/PH, so if you Manhattanites want to park your cars, be my guest.

GREAT NEWS! I have 6 cars that I spend hours moving from side to side in Prospect Heights. Now I know where I can park them for a couple of weeks. Think of the gas I’ll save.
Stupidest thing i’ve ever heard…no upside to this for anyone really. When the overrode the mayor and re-established free parking Sundays did they suspend all rules until the signs were changed back? Enforce by whatever signs you’re parked between and that’s it.
This is great–I’m a Brooklyn Heights street parker and drive infrequently. I’m happy to have a nice long-term option for the Summer! Hoping for a park block…
9.15, i don’t know where you live in williamsburg but I live on N7 and we have to move our cars 4 times a week.
Biff…don’t talk about crime in PS unless you can support it with the facts!!!!! You’re going to start something that will be off topic
