Stop Placard Parking_Chinatown July 29, 2011 At 9:03 pm

The $750,000 Parking Study is a sham!!! Sadik-Khan does not even MENTION chronic parking placard abuse at all!! I have seen cars with parking placards (Court Officers are the worst) park in the same spot for YEARS with no problem from TE officers. Traffic Enforcement officers are routinely told to give placarded cars a pass – this is WRONG!! What is Sadik-Khan doing about this chronic blight on Chinatown – it’s bad for business, local people cannot park and tourists cannot park and shop, it bad for Chinatown’s quality of life, AND, NYC loses over $50-million a year in lost parking meter revenue due to illegal parking placard abuse. I cannot believe that Parking Placard Abuse is not even MENTIONED in the $750,000 Chinatown Curbside Parking Study – This DOT commissioner really needs to wake up!!!
