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.

Not nice to rile these people up 9:29!!! You’re upsetting them on two counts…first you are engaged in a form of PS bashing and secondly on a social issue second only to stroller moms!!!!
PS just became long-term parking.
9:20, you better strap in a baby seat or two in the back so your ride blends in. If they suspect a car is from Manhattan, it usually ends up on blocks when the driver returns to pick it up.
PS will become a long-term parking lot with NO movement at all. I predict you’ll never find a spot, ever.
(I plan on parking my car there for all of June)
The DOT press release states that the commercial streets (5th & 7th ave) will be cleaned more often. As long as everyone does their part and cleans in front of their property on a regular basis, things should work out for the best.
As a commercial/residential building owner in ps, I make sure the front of the building is kept clean at all times.
9:20’s comment points to a problem we can anticipate in PS: warehousing of cars, making it more difficult for people who live in the area to use their cars and for people using the park to have access to the park. It’s gonna be a long, hot summer….
How much is off street parking in PS??? Only $175 in Bed Stuy!!! Im thinking of starting an arbitrage business between here and Manhattan.
bite me 9:20. leave your car in your own neighborhood. we have enough problems here in PS w/o you dumping your car here
Yes, the BH streets are cleaner. Granted, the heavily commercial streets are always messier…Fulton St in bed Stuy case in point.
