Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended Tuesday

Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on New Year’s Day, Tuesday, January 1, for holiday observance. Because New Year’s Day is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations are also suspended.

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

Click here for the 2008 Alternate Side Parking Regulations Suspension Calendar.

BROOKLYN, NY — There may be fewer homicides in Brooklyn's high-crime neighborhoods, but the number of people getting shot and robbed there is on the rise.

Home burglaries, car break-ins and muggings also have increased in central and north Brooklyn - even as the same crime rates have decreased citywide, NYPD statistics show.

Shechem, Yerushalaim and Hevron, land purchased by Yaakov Avinu, Dovid HaMelech and Avraham Avinu, are at risk under the current political authorities.

The only reason I remember the date of my unusual encounter as being November 27th is because it was the same day as the Annapolis meeting of high brow personalities where Olmert was slopsucker - claiming for his country only what was leftover after the others had their fill.
