The New York City Council overwhelmingly voted to override a veto by
Mayor Bloomberg and repealed New York’s Sunday parking meter law.
The vote was 42 to 2 and as a result, starting on Nov. 13th roughly
32,100 curbside parking spaces and another 4,500 in municipal a large total will
be available to drivers on Sundays for free. The change will cost the City
over $12 million each year – even more the original year because
approximately 13,600 parking signs have to be changed. Mayor
Bloomberg claims that the new rule would “hurt stores that won’t be
able to have their clients find parking” and even suggested that the
law would lead to stores firing workers. In his on a weekly basis radio program he
urged laborers to call their Council representatives and say, “You cost
me my job.” On the flip side, Fernando Ferrer, the Democratic campaigner
for mayor, says that Mr. Bloomberg had required New Yorkers to “pay to
pray” – making reference to complaints from a great deal of church-goers and
pastors that their church services were perpetually interrupted by
worried drivers rushing out to feed hungry meters. The City Council’s
position is that the law requiring people to remunerate at meters on Sundays
was instigated in 2002 as a response to fiscal crisis and now that the
crisis is over, the law must be repealed.
But is this a good or bad thing for NYC?
As an expert on parking in NYC, author of the book The Feder Guide
to Where to Park Your Car in Manhattan (and Where Not to Park It!)
Erik Feder feels that the City Council was justified in altering the law.
“The fiscal crisis is over and Bloomberg’s claims that store owners will
have to lay off their laborers is baseless. Before 2002, parking at meters
on Sundays was free and the difficulties that the Mayor and DOT
Commissioner Weinshall have focalized on were not significant. It seems
that the main issue is the revenue stream that will be lost.” Feder likewise
points out that the reaction from most humans on the street has been
positive – including storeowners.
