Mayor Bloomberg said he supports City Council's measure to reduce alternate sides parking for streets that keep themselves clean, but Bloomberg apparently thinks New Yorkers could get confused. "The more exceptions you have ... then nobody can remember [the rules]," he said.
The new rules would allow streets with at least two years of good cleanliness records to reduce their street cleaning to just once a week. How will anyone keep that straight?! Christine Quinn said, “We’re not saying to a neighborhood ‘you have to have less street cleaning and less alternative-side-of-the-street parking.’ We are saying you have that option." Or you could just never move your car again.
