Newly-appointed Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced that alternate-side parking rules would be restored to their twice-weekly schedule while claiming that trash had more than doubled in NYC's streets due to the pandemic-era reduction in sweeps.
Alternate side parking will return to two days a week to accommodate street sweepersNew York City drivers will once again be required to move their cars for street sweeping twice a week, ending a nearly two-year rollback in cleaning that city officials say has left blocks awash in litter.
Tisch said during a Monday press conference that the reduction in sweeps had more than doubled the amount of trash on the city streets. In many cases, she said, drivers were ignoring alternate side regulations altogether, blocking the mechanical brooms from accessing the curb for weeks on end. As part of the $11 million investment in cleaning announced on Monday, the city will also begin expanding a program to roll out year-round cleaning of protected bike lanes.previously used to clear snow
