The number of parking permits was slashed by 46 percent, to 78,000 permits. By handing out fewer parking passes each year, the City is encouraging more civil servants to ride public transit, easing traffic congestion while freeing up parking spots for others. Despite the reduction in city-issued parking permits, the system remains broken. Each step in the process—from creation of the permits, to distribution and enforcement—is fatally flawed, creating a system wrought with abuse and lacking effective oversight. In the present study, researchers at Transportation Alternatives canvassed five New York City neighborhoods and found that a majority of permit holders—57 percent—were either agency permits used to park illegally—double-parking or ditching their cars on sidewalks and bus lanes, or totally bogus permits. The study found that 24 percent of permits on display were illicitly photocopied, fraudulent or otherwise invalid. Clearly, further reform is needed. Modernizing New York City’s two-tiered parking system can help local businesses by freeing up space for customers and deliveries.

  • 1 a Letter from Hospital Providers
    A Letter from Hospital Providers Regarding COVID-19 and Homelessness in New York City April 15, 2020 Dear Mayor Bill de Blasio, Governor Andrew Cuomo, NYC Department of Social Services Commissioner Steven Banks, New York City Emergency Management Commissioner Deanne Criswell, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, and City Council Member Stephen Levin: We are frontline workers—physicians, nurses, social workers, and others—from hospitals across New York City writing to express our concerns and recommendations specific to the thousands of New Yorkers who are homeless during the COVID-19 pandemic. These individuals cannot stay home, because they have no home. They are at high risk for contracting and dying from COVID-19. Homeless New Yorkers are our patients and our neighbors. We commend you for steps you have taken to protect them and to preserve the capacity of our hospitals, such as creating isolation sites for people experiencing homelessness who have symptoms of COVID-19 and developing protocols to keep people with only mild symptoms out of emergency departments. Many of us have expressed our concerns publicly and privately, and are appreciative that several of these concerns have been addressed. We remain troubled, however, at the slow and still inadequate response to protect homeless New Yorkers. As of April 12, there were already 421 homeless New Yorkers known to be infected with COVID-19 and 23 had died from the disease. Black and Latinx New Yorkers are disproportionately affected by homelessness and incarceration (itself associated with both homelessness and risk of exposure to coronavirus), layering health inequity upon health inequity.

The incident is being investigated. The city has sadly seen a lot of incidents of attacks against people because of their ethnicity. If you witness a hate crime, be sure to call 911 immediately. Another incident happened on St. Patrick’s day. Apart from those two incidents, crime in the Park is down compared to last year. Unattended grand larcenies are the most common scenarios of crimes in Central Park.
