The Department of Sanitation said reduced Alternate Side Parking frequency resulted in dirtier streets, with roughly half of drivers deciding not to move their cars at all and instead deal with a possibly weekly ticket.
NEW YORK CITY -- After more than two years, Alternate Side Parking rules in New York City are back to the pre-pandemic frequency.
At the start of COVID-19, former Mayor Bill de Blasio reduced the number of days drivers had to move their cars for street cleaning, saying at the time that people weren't leaving their homes and it was an unnecessary burden. But the Department of Sanitation has said its resulted in dirtier streets, with roughly half of driversNow, the rules have been fully restored beginning Monday, and drivers should expect to move their vehicles twice a week.Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the pandemic policy change had a disproportionate effect on the amount of cleaning the agency could do.
"Restoring asp to twice a week should more than double the amount of cleaning we can and will do," she said."It's not about money grabbing, but it's really caring for your neighbors, for our community, because it's not just one street. Your garbage that you might have just littered on your block doesn't just stay there."Tisch said restoration of Alternate Side Parking comes includes the rehiring of 41 workers who had been cut in 2021.
