So, first of all, thank you commissioner for all your support and and also superintendent Glenn Baldwin from district seven.
1:30:44
Alternate side of the street parking, these freaking people do no do not move their damn cars, and I don't know what to do.
1:30:51
I have worked with PD and your wonderful local superintendent to try to get in some blocks.
1:30:57
We go out in the morning.
1:30:58
We put up signs, do not park.
1:31:00
But it's very, I would say, labor intensive.
1:31:03
We can't do that on, you know, 300 blocks.
1:31:06
So I'm I'm happy to undo the city council law that says you can't put a sticker on.
1:31:12
I put stickers all over these damn cars.
1:31:14
So I I don't know if you have any other ideas, but it's really curbing your ability to clean the streets.
1:31:19
I don't know if it's just on the Upper West Side, but I think it's elsewhere also.
1:31:23
And they're not moving.
1:31:24
I don't know what's in them.
1:31:25
What what's
1:31:42
should undo the stupid law that took the stickers away and put them back.
1:31:48
I can't get them to move.
1:31:49
I mean, literally, myself, I go out and I cannot we've all been trying alright.
1:31:53
So we're back to stickers because they're not moving.
1:31:56
Second is the on the, issue of, street vendors.
Javier Lojan
1:31:06
Right.
1:31:26
I I could just tell tell you anecdotally from my experience.
1:31:29
I was a field supervisor at one point, and those were the most effective things that we can do to deter vehicles not moving for alternate side parking, which were the stickers.
1:31:40
So to your point, we'd be happy to work
1:31:45
I agree with you.
1:31:46
Okay.
1:31:46
I'm happy to work with you on that because that was very effective.
