Brooklyn Broadside: Congestion Pricing, Permit Parking Aren’t Dead Yet
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
by Dennis Holt
Eagle columnist and Atlantic Yards fan Dennis Holt offers up residential permit parking as a consolation prize for residents of Prospect Heights.
A strong case can be made that the immediate communities surrounding Downtown Brooklyn — the Heights, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill and Fort Greene — should have a permit parking plan, which, if you think about it, is a form of congestion pricing. After a couple of the major structures of Atlantic Yards are completed — the arena and the signature building — Prospect Heights can qualify, and probably will.
NoLandGrab: With no timetable for the completion of the "signature building" — once known as "Ms. Brooklyn" and now as "B1" — there's no telling when P-Heights residents might be receiving their permits.
