Pricey Gridlock Sam,

Why is avenue parking continue to totally free in NYC?

Charles

Expensive Charles,

Ah, Charles, if we can only transform again the clock 70 years or so. It was not right until 1954 that the metropolis officially allowed overnight parking but by the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, as car or truck ownership boomed, the police dismissed it. My father’s ‘47 Dodge was parked overnight on Tapscott St in Brownsville at all hrs. Right after Alternate Aspect Parking was introduced in the ‘50s, cops commenced ignoring double-parking in some neighborhoods on road-cleaning days. Now the authorities are allowing drivers with fake paper plates, out-of-point out plates and even no plates to park on our streets.

It’s time for the metropolis to clamp down on phony paper plates, phony placards and phony out-of-point out registration! Many cities charge people a rate to park right away. I just really do not see that in the cards with the latest administration.
