Bensonhurst drivers beg city to ease parking rules
Six-day-a-week restriction is too much, residents say
Residents living along New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst are having a tough time finding parking spaces for their cars because of strict regulations imposed by the city – rules that residents said are unnecessary.
Gabriel Ingrassia said he and other residents want the city to ease up on alternate side of the street parking rules them and allow them to park on New Utrecht Avenue. “We want a reprieve from the very harsh parking restrictions,” Ingrassia, a nurse, told Community Board 11 members at the board’s meeting on Nov. 14.
Ingrassia said he attended the community board meeting to ask for the board’s help in convincing the Department of Transportation (DOT) to remove the restriction.
How bad is it? It’s pretty bad, according to Ingrassia.
