Bloomberg Supports Plan to Reduce Alternate Side Parking

Mayor Bloomberg signaled support Friday for a City Council plan to reduce alternate-side parking restrictions – but worries too many loopholes could make it difficult to enforce.

The Council passed a bill Thursday that would allow neighborhoods to drop an alternate-side parking day if they continually score well on city cleanliness ratings.

A mayoral spokesman said Bloomberg will sign it into law – but Hizzoner cautioned that easing the restrictions any further could be a problem.

“The more exceptions you have … then nobody can remember [the rules],” Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show.

    As I look at the garbage on the street here, I just know we won’t qualify, so what does it matter?

    At least it isn’t dependent on political connections, but there is an actual standard to trigger it.
