More Street Cleaning News: Third Phase of Sign-Replacement Project

Here’s an excerpt from the DOT press release about the Third Phase of Sign-Replacement Project.

Street Cleaning Regulations Suspended in Parts of Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and Other Areas West of Court Street Starting August 18th as DOT Starts the Third Phase of Sign-Replacement Project

New Regulations Will Take Effect in Parts of Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill and Gowanus East of Court Street Starting August 25th

Effective Monday, August 18th, Street Cleaning/Alternate Side Parking (ASP) Regulations will be temporarily suspended in parts of Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and other areas west of Court Street in Brooklyn’s Community Board 6 for three to five weeks as the Department of Transportation (DOT) installs 1,600 signs with new, reduced street-cleaning regulations. This is the third in a four-phase project to change signs throughout the community board.

In the Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill and Gowanus sections of Community Board 6 that are east of Court Street, where the second phase of this sign replacement project started on July 7th and is now complete, the 2,100 newly posted ASP regulations will become enforceable on Monday, August 25th, giving residents two weeks to adjust to the new rules.

In many cases, residential street-cleaning parking restrictions are being reduced from three-hour intervals to just 90 minutes, and from twice a week to just once a week, to ease parking for local residents. On commercial corridors, some streets will now be cleaned more often and regulations will be better coordinated to help ensure some curbside parking for local shoppers. The new rules were established by the Department of Sanitation.

Street Cleaning Regulations will be suspended within the following borders starting Monday, August 18th, and lasting an estimated three to five weeks. Go here for all the details.
