As most of you know, today (July 14th) marks the end of the Park Slope parking vacation. In other words it’s back to the tyranny of alternate side of the street parking. But there’s good news, too. According to a press release from the DOT, in many cases parking restrictions are being reduced from three-hour intervals down to two. Woo hoo.

In Park Slope, where the first phase of this
sign replacement project started on May 19 and is now complete, the
2,800 newly posted ASP regulations will take effect and become
enforceable on Monday, July 14.

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.

Here are some of the specifics from the DOT website:

Monday, July 14, new ASP regulations will take effect within the following borders of Park Slope:

North: Pacific Street (included) from 4th Avenue to 6th Avenue
6th Avenue (not included) from Pacific Street to Flatbush Avenue
