In a move that will drastically decrease the rate of success for the Bridge and Tunnel traps, Community Board 3 is considering expanding parking restrictions in the Lower East Side to cut back on noise and late-night traffic, the Post reports. The ordinance would "prohibit parking between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights," from Orchard Street to Essex Street, bounded by Broome Street up to East Houston.
While we're all for efforts to cut back on the honking that haunts our dreams and quickens our blood, won't less parking mean more jackasses circling the block? We hear that Brooklyn, with its ample parking, is the place to be these days: why not check that out instead?
