Hi neighbors,

Wednesday, September 30th at 6:30 PM at the LeBlanc residence at 304 Cumberland Street.

Please be on time so we can finish the meeting before they have to put their daughter to bed by 8PM.

To help expand our group, please ask a neighbor if they will join you. We'll have a drink and meet our neighbors, discuss block happenings and project updates.

The Local - Fort-Greene: Parking Dance to Resume, Simplified
By Lily Q

Alternate-side parking regulations, suspended since May, will be back in force, though in a less onerous incarnation, on July 20.

Start your engines, ladies and gentlemen. Then turn on the air conditioning, a bit of music and leave your car in park for 15 minutes or so as you prepare to journey all the way across the street. That’s right, alternate side parking regulations are back in effect as of July 20.

(Actually don’t leave your engine running. It is illegal in New York City to idle for more than three minutes, or more than one minute near a school.)

After a two-month suspension during which street-cleaning signs were replaced, the regulations will return, though they’ll be somewhat more lenient this time around.

According to a press release from the Department of Transportation, “some daytime residential street cleaning parking restrictions are being reduced from twice a week to just once a week to ease parking for local residents.” The times of the day when certain streets are cleaned have changed, too. Be sure to read the signs.
