After receiving complaints from several constituents, Councilman David G. Greenfield today introduced common sense legislation in the City Council that would allow motorists to temporarily stop at fire hydrants at all times as long as they are ready to immediately move their vehicle in the case of an emergency. Currently, drivers in New York City are allowed to temporarily stand at fire hydrants only during daylight hours, but not during evening hours.
