Councilmember Stephen Levin (33rd district which includes Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Williamsburg and Greenpoint) is introducing a local law to the New York City Council today that would, if approved by the majority of the Council, suspend alternate side of the street parking around film shoots.
“I am thrilled to introduce a bill that makes parking easier during film shoots. Over the last year, I have heard from residents all over the 33rd District from Brooklyn Heights to Greenpoint, Park Slope to Williamsburg , that film shoots have created difficult to navigate parking schedules and regulations. I want to emphasize that I truly appreciate the value of local filming and I have worked hard to make sure that this bill will not create an undue burden on production companies,” Councilmember Levin said.
