    Brooklyn Heights Blog,

    I am writing you on the behalf of Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez to encourage you to join us in the fight for parking reform. We wanted to make you aware of Intro 375, which is a proposed bill by the Council Member aimed at solving the problems faced citywide with alternate side parking. Intro 375, would allow drivers to park on the restricted side of a street if the street has already been cleaned or if they remain in their cars and are ready to move when the street is ready to be cleaned. On Tuesday, November 9th at 10:00AM at 250 Broadway you can come and testify to the City Council’s Transportation Committee on the importance of this bill and sign the petition in support of Intro 375. If you are interested in writing on this bill and joining us in this fight for reform, please contact the Legislative Director Megan Sallomi at msallomi@council.nyc.gov or (212)-788-7053.
