The City posts signs that tell drivers when parking is not allowed because the street will be cleaned. These parking regulations are commonly referred to as "alternate side parking." The signs usually include the letter "P" with a broom through it. The City suspends alternate side parking regulations on 34 legal and religious holidays. Regulations also may be suspended for severe weather or other reasons.
As of Monday, October 26, 2009, the City restored alternate side parking regulations for Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights south of Joralemon Street, Fort Greene, and Clinton Hill sections of Brooklyn's Community District 2.
As of Wednesday, October 28, 2009, the City suspended alternate side parking regulations for six to eight weeks in parts of Riverdale, Spuyten Duyvil, Marble Hill and Kingsbridge sections of the Bronx's Community District 8 as the City installs signs with new, reduced regulations.
You can send a request to the City for a new street cleaning sign or cleaning rules for a new street. You may also ask to change existing rules for a street by sending a letter to:
