Parking Is Getting Easier in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009One of the first things I did when I moved to Clinton Hill, Brooklyn was get a parking ticket. I got another a few days after that, and my car was completely towed away one bright and sunny Monday morning when I parked my car the night before near St Joseph’s College on Vanderbilt Avenue and didn’t move it by 11:00 am.
Well, here’s some good news for anyone who has a car who is looking to move to Fort Greene or Clinton Hill (and for people who already live here). The DOT is reducing alternate side parking from 4 days a week to only 2 days a week. Hurray!
In preparation for the new regulation, starting Monday, May 18, 2009, Street Cleaning/Alternate Side Parking Regulations will be temporarily suspended in the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill sections of Brooklyn’s Community District 2 for approximately six to eight weeks while 2,000 new signs are installed with the new reduced regulations.
The area that is getting the new regulations are within the borders of the following:
North: Flushing Avenue (included) from Navy Street to Classon Avenue.
East: Classon Avenue (included) from Flushing Avenue to Fulton Street.(the true border of Clinton Hill and Bedstuy)
South: Fulton Street (not included) from Classon Avenue to Flatbush Avenue.
West: Flatbush Avenue (not included) from Fulton Street to Myrtle Avenue; Myrtle Avenue (included) from Flatbush Avenue to Navy Street; Navy Street (not included) Myrtle Avenue to Flushing Avenue.
This is another great reason to call Clinton Hill and Fort Greene home. DOT, myself and my soon to be purchased Caddy CTS thanks you.
