""We see that all the time that the city is trying to work around the fact that there's a lack of parking enforcement and that there's some abuses of power with parking enforcement that we hope would be resolved with it moving to another department," Jason Froimowitz, the chair of the Manhattan board's transportation committee, stated."
""Enforcement is not meeting the needs of our city's population," he said. "We're constantly trying to work around the fact that there's a lack of enforcement.""
Local community boards are advocating for the Department of Transportation to take back responsibility for parking enforcement from the NYPD, citing inadequate enforcement. Manhattan Community Board 6 and Brooklyn Community Board 6 have voted to support this change, with Brooklyn CB6 initiating the push. Community leaders express frustration over illegal parking's impact on public safety and traffic flow. They argue that the current enforcement is insufficient to meet the needs of the city's population, particularly in critical areas like bus lanes and hospital entrances.
