The Department of Transportation appears to be making quick work of changing Alternate Side Parking signs around Park Slope, and many Slopers are finding that their alternate side days are being changed, in some cases from Thursday and Friday to Monday and Tuesday. Many of the new signs block out 9AM-10:30AM as the new “no parking” times, replacing old 8AM-11AM or 11AM-1PM rules. It looks like side streets are being changed to Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday alternate side days while avenues are being left as Thursday and Friday days. There have already been rumbling of discontent about the changed days on local email lists, but the fact that there will be four different alternate side days rather than two in some parts of the Slope raises the specter that someone who truly loses the alternate side lottery could end up–in theory–having to move his or her car four times in the course of a week rather than two. We will also go out on a limb and predict that, given the speed at which signs are being changed, that the suspension of alternate side parking does not last the entire summer as had been predicted.
