Alternate Side Parking Rules are suspended Today

Alternate Side Parking Rules are suspended for today January 2 for the observance of New Year’s. Because New Year’s is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations will also be suspended.

On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect 7 days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”).

NYC Mayor Bloomberg Sworn in for 2nd Term

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg delivers a speech after taking the oath of office for another four years during a ceremony at City Hall, Sunday, Jan. 1, 2006. Bloomberg launched his second term with an inaugural address portraying the city at a critical crossroads — with the promise of ‘finishing our unfinished work.’ (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)

Mayor Michael Bloomberg pledged to continue the city’s progress, including lower crime and a healthier economy, as he was sworn in for another four years on Sunday.

“Now we have a choice to make,” Bloomberg said at a City Hall ceremony. “We could be content with what we have accomplished — and preserve our gains — or we can take our beloved city even further.”

The former CEO took his first oath of office on New Year’s Day in 2002, as rescue workers still searched for victims’ remains amid the World Trade Center rubble. The economy was in tatters, and he warned of tough times ahead.

The parade coming down 59th Street from 6th Avenue past the Menorah and back down 5th Avenue

With 25 Mitzvah Tanks and around 130 Menorah Toped Cars, they made their way on Motzoai Shabbos from 770 over the Manhatten Bridge and into Manhattan right across 6th Ave. all the way to 59th St. were the Menorah stands, and then back around and down 5th Ave, while spreading the message of Chanukah to all the thousands of people in Manhattan there to celebrate the new year. A parade of light.

After the parade the Tanks, loaded with Menorah’s and Chanukah guides, fanned out across the midtown area around Grand Central Terminal and nearby Times Square where the message of Chanukah had reached thousands upon thousands of people, Menorahs and Guides were flying out “Un A Shiur”.

A special thanks goes to the people at the Mitzvah Tank Office who arranged the Police [Highway Division] escort as well as parking for the tanks, and to the Lubavitch Youth Organization.
