What? Pay for street parking?!
The Brooklyn Paper
By Mike McLaughlin
An article about last Tuesday's parking and transportation workshop reports that residential permit parking got a lot of attention. This is one of the ideas being bandied about along with the Mayor's congestion pricing plan.
Residents in Park Slope are already experiencing problems with on-street parking and fear it will get worse if Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards arena and high-rise complex is built.
“As Park Slope fills up, this is not going to solve the parking problem ultimately,” said Stuart Pertz, a Park Slope architect who has consulted the Municipal Arts Society on its opposition to the Atlantic Yards project.
NoLandGrab: Though Pertz has personally spoken quite forcefully against Atlantic Yards, the Municipal Art Society (MAS) has not taken a clear position opposing the project (see interview with MAS President Kent Barwick).
