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.

  • Lower Manhattan Waterfront and Landfill
    Early Waterfront Walks in MN, BK 1 EARLY WATERFRONT For two centuries, NYC was almost exclusively maritime. This is the environment in which the city began and where the geography of the city has changed the most. Walks take place along the lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn waterfronts which emerged in Dutch colonial times. If you have the time and the desire you could do both walks consecutively. In the order below they are separated by one stop on the A/C train. Lower Manhattan Start inside Castle Clinton (8:30AM-5PM), the War of 1812 fortification on the waterside of Battery Park (1,9 South Ferry or N,R Whitehall or 4,5 Bowling Green) and view the three historical dioramas just to the right of the entranceway. (Battery Park is under water at the beginning but filled by the second view; note landfill changes on the westside-the east side had already been filled; the changing technology of ships; elevated trains; the invention of the skyscraper; the crowding around teardrop-shaped Bowling Green.) Exit Castle Clinton and note Statue of Liberty. (What sentiments does the Statue of Liberty evoke-and for whom?) Leave Battery Park via main walkway passing the relocated World Trade Center spherical sculpture. To your left, on the waterside, is the southern edge of Battery Park City which itself is built on landfill from the original excavation of the World Trade Center. Walk to Bowling Green noting the rise in the land. From here appreciate the significance of the International Merchant Marine Co. Bldg, the Cunard Bldg.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 24, 2001; Designation List 326 LP-2089 DUFFIELD STREET HOUSES, (formerly the Johnson Street Houses),182-188 Duffield Street (aka 182,184, 186, 188 Duffield Street), Brooklyn. No. 182 built c. 1839-40; No. 184 built 1847; No. 186 built c. 1835-38; No. 188 built c. 1835-38, remodeled c. 1881-83. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 2058, Lot 40. On January 30, 2001, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Duffield Street Houses (formerly the Johnson Street Houses) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in support of the designation, including a representative of the Historic Districts Council. The Commission received one letter in support of the designation. At the time of designation the owner's representative expressed support for the designation. Summary Erected between c.1835 and 1847, these four houses are unusually intact survivors from the early nineteenth century residential neighborhood that once flourished on the blocks east of Brooklyn's civic center. In contrast to wealthier Brooklyn Heights and the working class district near the Navy Yard, this neighborhood evolved between the late 1820s and 1840s as a upper middle-class enclave and remained downtown Brooklyn's leading middle-class neighborhood throughout the nineteenth century. Moved two blocks to their present site in 1990, these houses were originally located on Johnson Street between Bridge and Lawrence Streets on one of several blocks developed by Rev.
