Street cleaning in New York: curb parking will be limited for a week in the city

New York is cleaning city streets. Therefore, from May 18 to May 24, the city will reintroduce the rule of alternate-side parking - when you can park cars on a certain day only on a certain side of the street in order to free the other side for cleaning. The edition writes about it New York Daily News.

“While we try to give our full attention to people, we also need to keep cleanliness. We see a number of areas in the city where garbage is starting to accumulate, and we are concerned, ”said New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. He did not name the parts of the city in which garbage accumulates.

The parking rule on the alternative side will be valid from May 18-24, so that utilities can clean.

After that, the rule on the alternative side of the parking lot will again be suspended in the city for at least another two weeks.

The parking rule on the alternative side has been suspended in New York since the outbreak of COVID-19 in March, marking one of the longest periods without this rule in the history of the city. The purpose of the suspension is to keep New Yorkers from having to carry out the onerous task of moving cars from one side of the street to the other during quarantine.

“If we do this one week cleaning, I hope the results will keep it clean for a significant period of time,” de Blasio said.
